I Feel Your Pain

15 May

Ouch!

PAIN. Can’t live with it, can’t live without it.

Pain, of course, is entirely relative.

Pain – the noun:

1) A feeling of marked discomfort, a distressing sensation in a particular part of the body: “She has severe pains in her arse, most probably due to sitting at the computer/at work/in the car all day.”

“Jury duty can be quite a pain in the neck.”

“Her boss gives her the most excruciating pain in her head and eyeballs.”

2) Mental suffering or distress : “During the holidays, I am plagued by the pain of listening politely to relatives pontificate on politics, religion, and reality TV.”

“Waiting for hours in this line at the DMV is killing me. Oh, the pain. ARRRGH!”

“Will the Kardashians ever stop inflicting such pain upon the culture and just drop off the damn planet?”

3) An annoying or tedious, troublesome person or thing: “Kim’s a pain. Khloe’s a pain. Kourtney’s a pain. Kris is a royal pain.”

4) Laborious or careful efforts; assiduous care: “Great pains have been taken to cover the crimson, pulsing pimple on my nose.”

“I take tremendous pains to order take-out for dinner. Boo hoo.”

Pain – the verb:

1) Cause mental or physical pain to: “It pains me to say this, but your butt looks huge in those horizontal stripes.”

Pain – phrase:

1) No pain, no gain: “Suffering is necessary in order to achieve something such as losing that last 15 pounds, getting the kids to do their homework, watching The Kardashians, and finishing this blog post on deadline.”

My favorite “pain.” Ah, oui.
