WORD OF THE WEEK:
NONDESCRIPT
non·de·script (nŏn′dĭ-skrĭpt′)
PART OF SPEECH/DEFINITION:
ADJ.: 1. Lacking distinctive qualities.
SENTENCE: The nondescript, yet cretinous, interloper traumatized the blithesome spirit of a walk in the park with spurious claims of individuality that indubitably caused a harrowing look-a-like effect on a knackered public.
