The Hotel Inspector just described the manager of the hotel she is visiting in tonight’s TV show as “bewildered”.
It made me consider just what a great word “bewildered” is. It’s one of those fantastically emotive words that conjures up thoughts of a meandering, confused and indecisive person bobbing around in their own little world.
It also strikes me as one of the most damning insults available. I’m not sure why – I’ve heard previous subjects of the TV show described as failures, inept, dumb and many other such put-downs. Somehow, bewildered suggests a uselessness beyond repair and is so much more cutting than an indictment of their business skills.
So, with all of that in mind, why would you make it the name of your boat?
