#009: Atavistic


[ˌadəˈvistik]

adjective
1. Relating to or characterized by reversion to something ancient or ancestral.
2. Recurrence of or reversion to a past style, manner, outlook, approach, or activity

(I have to confess this is one I just got from William Shatner while watching Expedition Unknown's "Shark Trek.")



#010: Diatribe


[ˈdīəˌtrīb]

noun
1. A forceful and bitter verbal attack against someone or something.
2. Ironic or satirical criticism.



Note: Obviously you can use any form of the words you want (ex: atavism instead of atavistic). I just use whatever the source had.

Persona 5 Royal:
"Spare me the diatribe, Akira, I already know how you feel about my methods," Akechi rapped his knuckles on the counter in frustration, "but I think in the case of Maruki, lethal force might be warranted."

Sherlock Holmes:

Atavistic
Sherlock often denounced such outdated theories, but looking at the dead man's bloodless face, he had to admit that Milverton's features–his hawkish nose, hairless face, and once keen grey eyes–were like atavistic stigmata, signalling his evil nature to the world.

Diatribe
"Inspector Lestrade, as much as I would love go on a lengthy diatribe to fully express my opinions on Scotland Yard's incompetence, I'm afraid we currently have much more pressing matters to devote our attention to."
