Today’s “Word of the Day” is ostracize and it is a verb meaning “to deliberately exclude someone from a group (& to stop communicating with him/her); shun, ignore, reject, avoid, cast off, blacklist”.
Example Sentence: The bombshell book, The Room Where It Happened, an upcoming memoir written by Adviser John Bolton who served as National Security for U.S. President Donald Trump, is due for release next Tuesday, in the thick of a presidential campaign against Democrat Joe Biden.
In a sign of Mr. Trump’s anger over the memoir, the Justice Department filed an emergency order late Wednesday seeking a halt to publication.
Mr. Trump later tweeted “Wacko John Bolton’s ‘exceedingly tedious’ (New York Times) book is made up of lies & fake stories,”. “A disgruntled boring fool who only wanted to go to war. Never had a clue, was ostracized & happily dumped. What a dope!”
