Today's Word "obloquy"
obloquy \OB-luh-kwee\ (noun) - 1 : Strongly condemnatory or abusive language or utterance. 2 : The condition of disgrace suffered as a result of public blame, abuse, or condemnation; ill repute.
"After injuring the third digit on his left hand in the vehicle's frame, Wendell let loose with a stream of obloquy directed towards it which did not cease for several minutes."
Obloquy derives from Latin obloqui, "to speak against," from ob-, "against" + loqui, "to speak."
