Visiting the lovely city of Lubbock today, enjoyed a nice dinner with colleagues from Lubbock and Amarillo along with some leadership from our Texas Association. Tomorrow will be th first time I have participated in a regional meeting as the State TREPAC representative. It will be a great meeting, and I am very proud to be representing TREPAC here. I have about 45 minutes of information that I will condense down to about 4 minutes. No problemo!Today was also an interesting day in another way, complete with lots of challenges and opportunities, defeats, successes and just a lot going on. Add to that the fact that I am in the middle of a quick trip to Lubbock, I tried to do as much as I could remotely. All tolled, it will all work out well, and that is the end of that.
Incongruous -- Adjective. lacking congruity: as a. not harmonious: incompatible. b. not conforming: disagreeing. c. inconsistent within itself. The sight of a horse and carriage among the cars on the road struck us as incongruous.
Did You Know? Incongruous is a spin-off of its antonym, congruous, which means "in agreement, harmony, or correspondence." Etymologists are in agreement about the origin of both words; they trace to the Latin verb congruere, which means "to come together" or "to agree." The dates of the words' first uses in English match up pretty well, too, with both first appearing around the beginning of the 17th century. And while the geometrical term congruent can be used synonymously with congruous, its own antonym, incongruent, almost always describes angles and shapes.
