Frustration occurs when the mind overrides the body's desparate desire to choke the everloving hell out of some jerk who desperately needs it.

Ah, a word I know well and am very familiar with.   It comes from the Latin word frustrare (disappoint) and frustratio (a deception).  The word frustration came into use in English in the mid 16th century.

This has nothing what so ever to do with our, Word of the Day. However with the commenters, being pretty sparse, I thought you all might like one of my, Did You knows, as a filler!

Webster’s Dictionary accidentally had a word that didn’t exist in it for five years – “Dord.”

Yes I know it's  :off: but these are called "ghost words" which is appropriate for this time of the year. Ghost words are words like "dord" that do not exist and should not be in a dictionary. An entertaining video by Robwords on ghost words is at:
