Word of the Day: Hellacious

[RubyK]

Hellacious describes an awful experience and is often used to describe traffic, weather or even a period of time (e.g. a hellacious summer). It’s also commonly used in sport when discussing a hellacious punch or hit.

2020 was a hellacious year for most people because of the political scene, the weather and the Covid pandemic.

The climb was hellacious, but well worth the view when we crested the top.
