Today’s “Word of the Day” is “folly“ and it is a noun meaning “foolishness, stupidity, silliness, madness, irresponsibility, thoughtlessness, senselessness, insanity, absurdity, irrationality”.
Example Sentence: I would love to have been a fly on the wall when the subject of the EU came up during the meetings between Boris Johnson and Ukraine’s President Zelenskiy. How could Johnson,…, have possibly handled the irony of the situation? He, the principal culprit in what is being increasingly recognised as the self-harm of Brexit; and Zelenskiy, desperate to join the EU that the UK, in its unforgivable folly, has left.
This word is present in Brexit and other offensive words starting with the letter B to read it.
