Word of the Week: Chimera

By Joseph on 1 January 2007 | Permalink

Unfortunately, my MovableType installation did not correctly publish this article on Monday morning, as it usually does. Anyway, the word is chimera.

Chimera (noun)

A thing that is hoped or wished for, but in fact is impossible to achieve

"Ned's resolution to end world hunger with his Visa card proved to be a chimera."
