8. These terms all mean something different, don't they? |
|
I'm not cheating my looking them up. Going by memory, I've used "conundrum" to mean a perplexing dilemma, a problem of sorts. "Whether to buy a blue sofa that I hate but fits and is on a great sale, or to buy a camel sofa that I love but is regular price and slightly too large for my space? What a conundrum."
Paradox I thought means opposite ends of a situation that exist simultaneously.
Farcical: Keystone Cops-like.
Clarion call: Wakeup call.
