English Synonyms and Antonyms0.0 / 0 votes

  1. senseless

    That is absurd which is contrary to the first principles of reasoning; as, that a part should be greater than the whole is absurd. A paradoxical statement appears at first thought contradictory or absurd, while it may be really true. Anything is irrational when clearly contrary to sound reason, foolish when contrary to practical good sense, silly when petty and contemptible in its folly, erroneous when containing error that vitiates the result, unreasonable when there seems a perverse bias or an intent to go wrong. Monstrous and preposterous refer to what is overwhelmingly absurd; as, "O monstrous! eleven buckram men grown out of two," Shakespeare 1 King Henry IV, act ii, sc. 4. The ridiculous or the nonsensical is worthy only to be laughed at. The lunatic's claim to be a king is ridiculous; the Mother Goose rimes are nonsensical. Compare INCONGRUOUS.

    It was a fairly lengthy relationship and we do have some prior calls. I’m not disclosing at this time what those calls were, or when they were, our thoughts and prayers go out to the many friends and family who have been devasted by this loss. Roscommon County contains wonderfully, close-knit communities who rally around those who are struggling and in need. We encourage the people of this community to share their love and support to the many people who have been devastated by this horrific and senseless tragedy.
