Word of the week

mordant-
1. black, grim, mordant

(harshly ironic or sinister; "black humor"; "a grim joke"; "grim laughter"; "fun ranging from slapstick clowning ... to savage mordant wit")

I found that totally funny article on how to stay in debt. I laughed for at least 5 minutes. I had to add a few of my own comments- but it was super funny.

Dave is never serious. Every word he speaks in laced with sarcasam or irony- so one day I went looking for a word to describe him- and mordant seemed to amuse me.
