congenial (adj.) – pleasing in
nature; agreeable
for
your edification: Look!
This word is so close to congenital,
but it isn’t congenital! One little letter can make such a
difference. One little letter is the
difference between an agreeable, friendly, or generally pleasing in nature circumstance, and,
well, a genital. Besides having nothing
to do with your genitals, here’s how you can remember the definition of this
word: You’ve heard of genies,
right? Genies are supposed to be these
magical creatures that go around making dreams come true, granting all your wishes. Genies are awesome. Everyone loves a genie. I mean, I Dream
of Jeanie, for crying out loud. Don’t
you? Genies are pleasing in nature. Genies
are agreeable to everyone. I repeat: everyone loves a genie. They’re congenial. I feel pleased. You?
Examplification – Rodrigo: What a day. I am so overwhelmed by all my homework and my
job and my mom nagging me all the time.
Lisa: Yeah.
And also, you’re pretty much always in a super-pissy mood.
Rodrigo:
I know. I’m so stressed. I just wish I could have a genie to help me
with everything. If I had a genie, I’d
be congenial. I wish I could be pleasing and agreeable. Ugh.
Lisa: Ooh. And
you could get the genie to add five inches to your penis, too.
Rodrigo: In theory, I guess.
Lisa: Yeah.
Totally. And maybe you could ask
for fresher breath.
Rodrigo: Okay.
Lisa: And, like, help with the acne.
Rodrigo: Right.
Got it. Thanks.
