Inimical, Jettison

Inimical- unfriendly; hostile; cold

Ex: The inimical bed and breakfast owner gave us three pieces of information, delivered with an icy stare, at the check in desk.

“One: Here is your room key. You only get one. If you lose it, your stay is over. Two: Breakfast is served from 6am to 9am. If you want first pick of the danimals, I suggest that you get there as soon as it opens. Three: Do not tamper with the thermostat. If you are cold, there are yak pelts in the closet. If you are hot, come back to the front desk. We will supply you with one of those little handheld fans with the foam blades that also sprays mist in your face when you press the button.”

*cut to early next morning in the common room. The shades are drawn and you can see a fresh coating of snow from the night prior in the courtyard. A long line of guests draped in shaggy brown yak furs has formed in front of the buffet spread. A cry rings out from the front of the line.*

“6:12 and they’re already out of fucking crush cups. Just my luck! What did I tell you, Clarice? Shower after breakfast! There are only smoothies left now! What am I, some sort of child!?”

Jettison- to drop from an aircraft or ship

Ex: The cargo plane gliding just under the clouds above the barren plains prepared to Jettison its load of Miami Heat: 2023 NBA Finals champions apparel down onto the unsuspecting villagers. Each year, they were fed a different false narrative about which sports teams had reigned supreme in their respective sports in the United States. To this day, if you find yourself in a little makeshift sports bar in Nairobi, it’s only a matter of time before someone engages you in small talk about the unprecedented Buffalo Bills Super Bowl four-peat from 1991-1994.
