The Wednesday Word - obloquy

Today's Wednesday word is obloquy (pronounced ob-low-kwee). It means abusive language or strong condemnation as a result of some disgrace or scandal.

Here is a quote for it:

"There he remained, weeping indignantly at her stream of obloquy, bitterly ashamed of his tears, until it was time for supper."
Jonathan Keates
