On India's National Day (many and very warm greetings to all The Word Den's friends in India) here's a suitably small quote from the wonderful The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy:
This was the trouble with families. Like invidious doctors, they knew just where it hurt.
Ouch!
Word To Use Today: invidious. This word comes from the Latin invidiĊsus, which means full of envy. The English word invidious means to tending to arouse resentment.
