Minions
I’ve rediscovered a word that I’m crazy about, and here are some examples of its use:
1) Hell is reserved for the devil and his minions. 2)The IRS and its minions squeezed the last penny from the starving widow. 3)My boss and her minions forced me out of the job I had worked so hard for. 4)The boutique owner and her minions bought out everyone else in the city. Now and then a word comes along that “drips with invective,” and is self-explanatory. You can hear the sneer that goes with the word minions. Use it well, with my compliments.
