dolorous: /dol-er-uhs/

full of, expressing, or causing pain or sorrow

how to use in casual conversation:

"funerals are dolorous"
"sing me another one of those dolorous songs"

not to be confused with:

dolores (a.k.a. the future ex-mrs. pony)

how it makes me feel:

while the pronunciation sounds a lot like dolores, it's more like doleres which is remarkably along the lines of an incident i learned about at brunch yesterday. (i believe zee americans pronounce it 'appiness). and yes the cranberries were like, so 15 years ago. but dolores o'riordan is still damn hot. i'd like to show her my 'appiness. ok. i don't mean that. i've done a lot of things but i've never flashed someone in public, or in private for that matter, at least not in an unsolicited manner. i've never really understood what someone would get out of that. i.e. "i made a girl cry and run away from me in terror. it was so hot." i mean i know that in pornos a guy just kind of pulls it out and the girl is all like "ooooh yeah i did order extra sausage, give it to me pizza man" but everyone knows those people are acting. i mean seriously, those actresses are NOT comfortable in those positions for sustained periods of time, hence the term 'actress'. and jenna jameson is going to have some major arthritis one day. i'm just saying...
