A Word for Wednesday

B 


ilious: irritable; cranky; extremely unpleasant or distasteful  (of or pertaining to bile)

What a descriptive word, right?  And one I was not familiar with...I came across this word when reading Girls of Riyadh by Rajaa al-Sanea.

My cousin, who is majoring in Middle Eastern Studies at USC, recommended the book after reading it for a class.  I have only read a chapter so far, but it's interesting so far.
