Good morning English nuts. Wishing you a fantastic sunny Sunday... ! ❤
I am thoroughly fascinated by the temerity you always show in dealing with such complex words with nonchalance. There is a sense of pathos you evoke in us without slipping either into bathos or grotesque speech. ❤

Thank you, I learnt a new word.. bathos.

[@bahavuddin9613]

Your classical way of describing the meanings of these words is beyond appreciation. I recommend it to everyone in my friend circle to subscribe to your channel and learn from it.

This is such a good episode. Thank you.

[@bahavuddin9613]

Wows, Amazing.

[@caesarsen5944]

That was invigorating.
Please enlighten me of the word RISQUE. How to use it in sentence, apart from referring to a joke. Can that be incorporated for any incident?

[@user-dm6he9gn6r]

Thanks 😊

Bang on as usual. In Tamil the word 'thimir' means arrogance, cockiness which is similar to temerity.

[@srikanths5178]

IMHO, they are quite different. I think you are conflating inflated ego or arrogance (Tamil word 'thimir) and reckless boldness ( "Temerity). A temerarious person may not necessarily be hubristic or treat others with disdain, but the aforementioned qualities do define someone who has ('thimir').

[@jonrolfson1686]

It seems, curiously, that of these words only Bathos has been attached to a system for specific measurement of the quality - Bathymetry, the measuring of watery depth.
The vast immeasurable time and breadth and depth of Pathos potential must inhibit our ability to devise a finely calibrated metric. Instead we spread Pathic discrimination in irregular lumps along an odd range of expressions: sympathy, empathy, sociopathy, and psychopathy.
Cassandra we ignore, turning to Clio, a Muse of History, for Cliometrics. Cliometrics has come to have a narrower focus, dealing specifically with Economic History. There is still a space for Cassandrimetry, the measuring of unbelieved pertinence in prediction 🔮.
The literally Grotesque is adequately measured with normal standards of depth, breadth and volume.
Little more remains to be done unless some standard for Grotesqueries of the ludicrous, repulsive, or incongruous distortion of appearance or manner can be devised.
Temerity stands alone. I am not so Audacious as to suggest a unit of measurement.
