the worthless word for the day is: thersitical

there once was a Greek: Thersites
whose name became eponymized
he was ugly, abusive
and very obtrusive
the Trojans went to their knees!

(its not much of a limerick, but you get the idea)

There once was a Greek called Thersites
Who shouted "Agamemnon fight? He's
Bamboozled us with tactics political.
How hypocritical! Call me thersitical,
But his head's bigger than God Almighty's."

Thersites was a Greek we recall
Not for his wit but his gall
He called his King greedy
And Achilles needy
Everafter such gall is "thersitical".
