Today’s “Word of the Day” is “anodyne“ and it is an adjective meaning “dull, boring, tedious, unexciting; inoffensive, noncontentious; soothing, relaxing, pain-killing, pain-relieving, palliative, anesthetic, sedative. (anodyne as a noun means a “painkiller”)”.
Example Sentence: The Biden-Harris campaign has been proceeding as if everything is fine, rolling out some transition team names and announcing that Biden has talked to some world leaders. Biden’s comments on Wednesday about the election were even more sedated and anodyne than those of Al Gore back during the 2000 Florida recount.
