Turbid can refer to something thick with suspended matter, while turgid means swollen or bombastic. Continue reading... Turgid comes from the Latin word turgidus, meaning swollen, inflated. Turgid can be used in a figurative sense to describe things that are overblown. That might remind you of some people's egos! If a famous singer wants to showcase his incredible vocal range and his love of yodeling in a single song, the result may well be turgid, something so swollen with notes and styles that it seems ready to burst.
If something is limp, loose, droopy, and wrinkly, you can call it flaccid, which rhymes with acid.. Think elephant skin, soggy asparagus, and the type of feeble handshakes frowned on in job interviews. We get the word flaccid from the Latin flaccus, which meant flabby.. The meaning is pretty much the same today, though it applies to more than physical flab. Flaccid pops up in conversation to describe lackluster leadership, dull conversation, and even feeble attempts at word definitions. If a politician's election campaign is flaccid, it will surprise no one that he only receives two votes â one from his grandmother and the other from someone who accidentally checked the wrong box on the ballot.
