helping you remember SAT definitions... the dirty way

ostracize


       ostracize (v.) – to exclude or shun

for your edification:  Do you know which species wins the prize for being the most giant asshole in the bird community?  Well, hands down:  it’s the ostrich.  Ostriches are so snotty and cliquey.  They never hang out with any other avian creatures outside their group.  They don’t have, like, nest-building, worm-eating playdates with flamingoes or anything.  It’s true:  ostriches ostracize  (that sounds so, so much like “ostrich size”, don’t you think?) every other bird, excluding all others, shunning all others, hell:  throwing leftover ham slices and sewer water at all other birds flying by.  Ostriches are huge dillwads.  We should ostracize them for being such enormous jerks.  Totally.

examplification -  Ralph:  I think it is really rude of you all to exclude me because of the house that I live in or the shoes on my feet.  Seriously.  In this day and age, you shouldn’t ostracize anyone.

Muffy:  What are you talking about, Ralph?  We don’t ostracize you because of those things.  We ostracize you because you refuse to wear shoes and your clothes are all made out of feathers and you make stupid bird noises all the time.  You think you’re an ostrich, and that’s pretty freaking weird.

Mitzi:  Also, you’re just an enormous dick.

Ralph:  Squawk!
