Ennui
Ennui. I came across this word while reading The Three Musketeers today; it completely baffled me. I felt compelled to google the word and find out it's meaning. Via dictionary.com:
en·nui
[ahn-wee, ahn-wee; Fr. ahn-nwee] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun a feeling of utter weariness and discontent resulting from satiety or lack of interest; boredom: The endless lecture produced an unbearable ennui.
Seems like a word I could use regularly. Sweet!! I'm glad I didn't use it today though, I would have completely mispronounced it.
