Deaccession stranger Registered: 12/31/11 Posts: 3	Looking for a word that means depicting something as dangerous, perhaps more than is warranted. Help is much appreciated!

Candy Pooh-Bah Registered: 09/21/10 Posts: 1705 Loc: down under	I was thinking 'foreboding' or 'apocalyptic' but I'm not convinced yet...

Rhubarb Commando old hand Registered: 11/13/11 Posts: 1032 Loc: Lancaster, UK	Originally Posted By: Deaccession Looking for a word that means depicting something as dangerous, perhaps more than is warranted. Help is much appreciated! How about "foreboding"? or possibly. "menacing"? E.g., "The poster on the wall had a foreboding image" or, "The note I received was menacing in the extreme." _________________________ I'm immortal until proven otherwise
