Sunday Rest: exude. Word Not To Use Today.

It's possible to exude a sense of optimism, but there's something about the word exude that reminds me, even in this instance, of horrid things like diseased and depraved clowns.

Most other things people exude I really don't want to think about. 

Ugh!

Still, it's a horrid word for a horrid thing, so I suppose at least it's honest.

Sunday Rest: exude. This word comes from the Latin exsūdāre, from sūdāre, to sweat.

Lovely.
