A few entries from my favorite cynical lexicogropher, the inimitable Ambrose Bierce:
"AGE, n. That period of life in which we compound
for the vices that we still cherish by reviling those
that we have no longer the enterprise to commit."
"EDUCATION, n. That which discloses to the wise
and disguises from the foolish their lack of understanding."
"CIRCUS, n. A place where horses, ponies and
elephants are permitted to see men, women and
children acting the fool."
"ANOINT, v.t. To grease a king or other great
functionary already sufficiently slippery."
"CONVENT, n. A place of retirement for woman who
wish for leisure to meditate upon the vice of idleness."
These and other caustic definitions can be found in Bierce's legendary The Devil's Dictionary. The sardony is rich!
