Big Word WFriday: Irrevocably

This word has many important meanings lately, but was brought to my attention by my coworker yesterday. He may have been rapping it.

"Irra-irra-irra-irrevocably."


It was funny.

irrevocably. adverb. [ih-rev-uh-kuh-buhley]. not to be revoked or recalled; unable to be repealed or annulled. unalterable.
   
  • But it also means that the world we've become accustomed to will change, perhaps irrevocably.  
  • The world is irrevocably going down the cloud path but nothing ever flips around all the way. Today's moral theologian prefers an existential approach to the dissolution of irrevocably broken marriages.
Sorry this came on a WFriday instead of a Wednesday. I'm trying to catch up!

Ciao,
kc
