Word of the Day
frigorific (adj)
Causing cold, chilling
"When speaking on a hot day, he rubs one hand over a cake of ice on a table beside him, and clasps its frigorific palm over the opposite wrist."
--American Mercury Magazine, 1924, author unknown (but the magazine was edited by H.L. Mencken)
Hmm. Say "What a frigorific day," and people will probably think you're ecstatic about something.
