Is ridiculous a rude word?
What does ridiculous mean? We use ridiculous when something is “absurd” enough to be “laughable.” Saying something is ridiculous often means you think it deserves mockery or disrespect. An 1857 guide called English Synonyms says that, “Ridiculous includes an idea of contempt, which ludicrous does not convey.”Jun 18, 2020
