- egregious. Meaning, anything one doesn't like, anything that is rotten, unbecoming, obnoxious, or whatever. In short, anything that is egregious. One of the first words I taught my granddaughters. I'm not sure it was a good idea since I've never heard the last of it. Not an original word. Just a well-traveled one.
