Today's word of the day is garboil. It's spelled G-A-R-B-O-I-L. Garboil is a noun that means a confused or disordered state. The Latin word bullire (boo LEE ray) means to boil or liquify. The image of a boiling pot of water perfectly captures the kind of chaos people must have had in mind when they understood the word garboil to mean a confused or disordered state. Tammy did a great job of managing the office. As soon as she left, the office became a non-stop garboil. Once again, garboil is spelled G-A-R-B-O-I-L.
