Today...we're going to learn some BAD WORDS!
Now, these are not swear words or words you shouldn't
say to other people. These are words you can use to
say something is...well, you know....BAD!
The word "bad" is too generic, too simple, too boring.
So you can, and should, use the words I'm going to
teach you, in order to be more descriptive and give more detailed information.
This is also a great way to expand your vocabulary
because you already know the meaning of these words...something that's bad.
So, without further ado, here's a list of bad words.
Number 1 - Horrible
This just means something that is really, really, bad.
It's pretty general and you can use it to describe many things.
Number 2 - Awful
This is another word that means very bad.
And it can also be used to describe a variety of things and situations.
Number 3 - Lousy
This is used to describe something that's bad, but not super bad.
It's slightly bad. Maybe you're not impressed with
someone's work so you say it's lousy.
Number 4 - Unpleasant
This word is often used to describe an experience
or a situation, especially one that is uncomfortable or annoying.
Number 5 - Harmful
We use "harmful" to talk about the effects of something.
It's commonly used to describe things that effect us in a bad way.
Number 6 - Detrimental
This word is also used to describe things that have
a negative effect. But these are usually things that regularly effect us.
Number 7 - Horrendous
Mostly, this word is used to describe the way that
something or someone looks. And it doesn't just look bad.
"Horrendous" looks really bad!
Number 8 - Atrocious
This word can also be used to describe the way
something looks...like an atrocious work of art.
But, typically, "atrocious" is used to describe an act that is brutal like an atrocious crime.
Number 9 - Abysmal
This word is often used when talking about the results of something.
And abysmal means that something is bad...I mean really bad!
Number 10 - Vile
This word is used to describe something that is wretchedly bad.
It is used to talk about a variety of things.
Vile humor.
Vile odor.
Vile language.
Number 11 - Appalling
Now, "appalling" talks about things that are shockingly bad.
Usually because they're offensive in some way.
Number 12 - Hideous
This is another word we frequently use when we want to
say that something looks bad.
