deride (v.) – to ridicule; to
scorn
for
your edification: Well, to help remember this one, you’re gonna
have to be kind of a jerk. I’d like you,
please, to envision a girl - nice though
she may be – a girl known for her promiscuous reputation. You know – the kind of girl that some may disparagingly call a “slut.” Yuck. What
a gross word that is. Anyway, this girl
you are picturing, imagine that others really make fun of her. They really
ridicule her. In fact, they just plain scorn her. How? People that know her call her “Da Ride.” Da
Ride! It’s kind of clever, really,
to deride a slooty (so much nicer
than slutty, don’t you think?) girl by
calling her “Da Ride”, but it’s
pretty terrible at the same time to
ridicule and scorn a promiscuous
girl by calling her “Da Ride.” Whatever.
Perhaps “Da Ride” enjoys her
lifestyle, and perhaps using her nickname to help you remember that deride means “to ridicule” will help you raise your SAT score. Here’s hoping!
examplification -
Patty: I’m
sorry to tell you this, Lisa, but because of your seemingly skanky behavior
after Oxface's party last night, everyone in school is deriding you by calling you “Da Ride.”
Lisa: They can ridicule
and deride me if they
like; I think Da Ride is a frackin dope as hell nickname, and I’m gonna rock it.
Patty: You go, Da Ride.
