abominable /əˈbäm(ə)nəb(ə)l/

I fail to see what is supposedly so ghastly about an extra-tall snowman. Far more loathsome, I suggest, is the miniature snowman who looks up at him and says, “Oh! You must play basketball!”

Kudos, I say, to the former pro basketball player who confessed to losing his patience with a little old lady who asked this same question, based only on her observation of his loftiness. “No!” he lied, looking down on her. “Do you play mini-golf?”
