What does atrocious mean in English?
1 : extremely wicked, brutal, or cruel : barbaric prisoners subjected to atrocious treatment. 2 : appalling, horrifying the atrocious weapons of modern war an atrocious accident. 3a : utterly revolting : abominable atrocious working conditions atrocious weather.
 

The atrocious, eye-watering, nose-burning, strong ammonia odour that would escape out of my kids rubber baby panties when changing their drenched overnight diapers (CLOTH) first thing in the morning! Pee-ew!

This old-fashioned, stay-at-home frugal mom didn't use Pampers!

What might be even more atrocious, :giggle:

Imagine for a brief moment, how it would be, to handle those sticky tapes of the disposable ones, while bungling with rubber gloves, getting stuck on them! ;)

Haha, this thread brought back a memory. My son in Grade 2 or so had a school report done before a parent/teacher conference. The teacher had written on the report that his spelling was atrocious. She ran it past the headmaster first and he pointed out that she had spelled 'atrocious' incorrectly and it might be a good idea to change it because it probably wouldn't get past me. :unsure: It was changed to 'needs work'. ;) :ROFLMAO:

She and I got on pretty well though, and she fessed up to me. She knew I would get a giggle out of that - and I did, we both did.
 
Who chose the atrocious theme for that party?
And what made someone choose that atrocious outfit?

I just realized, I should take all the chance I get, now,
to feel free to use this word, that I have rarely if ever, used in my entire lifetime,
before this thread was posted here!
:LOL: :giggle::ROFLMAO::LOL:
