WELL DONE BRAZILIAN PLAYERS!

Esse “well done” corresponde a “Congrats” (parabéns); não é o nosso “bem feito” (no sentido pejorativo, que seria algo como “it serves you right”)
*fight back* = to defend yourself when someone attacks you or causes problems, and try to win or stop the situation.

“Brazil was losing by 2 goals at halftime, but fought back well and won the game.” “Don't just accept defeat; fight back!”

3-IN-1 SURGERY

Após alguns dias de estaleiro, estou de volta ao batente. Passei por uma cirurgia tripla (bariátrica, vesícula, hérnia)) no dia 18/6. Por enquanto, estou muito bem. Há um certo risco até completar 30 dias. Estou me alimentando com caldinho transparente e, se alguém quiser fazer alguma pergunta sobre esse tipo de cirurgia, pode me enviar (rosepolato@terra.com.br). Tirei os pontos anteontem e desde então já fiz umas 30 laudas de tradução. Mas hoje, sexta-feira, quero descansar (enquanto a gente está no hospital ou mesmo em casa, nos primeiros dias, não dá para descansar - tudo parece desconfortável - a cama, o sofá, porque, cada vez que vc se mexe, dói tudo, mesmo sendo laparoscopia, por dentro está cortado). Mas estou cada vez melhor. Já consigo me levantar quase sem dor.

RIFE / RIFER / RIFEST = WIDESPREAD = ABUNDANT = PLENTIFUL

(adjective): Prevalent, widespread, occurring in great numbers over a wide area; abundant, plentiful.Usage: Today's word may be compared: the comparative is "rifer" and the superlative is "rifest." The noun is "rifeness."

"Keep in mind that the rifest blog is under continuous updating process, though we cannot guarantee any data completness due to vast amount of words. Rifest status is currenty set to - open for additions." "Land disputes are now rifer than ever making indigenous tribes around the area live a life of uncertainty." "This summer, Maresias was rifer than usual with love and lovesickness."

This adjective leads an interesting double life with two prepositions that allow switching its subject and object. We may say, "E-mail abuse is rife in the workplace" or "The workplace is rife with e-mail abuse."

Although this word is more often associated with pejorative abundance (rife with bribery, dope, abuse), positive associations are equally possible: "Even today the economy is rife with opportunities" or
"I live in a community rife with support and cooperation." "I hope this blog is always rife with information about the English language and that information about English is rife in YourDictionary."

REMORSE / REGRET / PENITENCE / CONTRITION/ COMPUNCTION

Remorse: A deep, prolonged regret for wrong-doing whose damage cannot be repaired.Usage: Today's word has several near synonyms.

"Regret" is a plain sense of sorrow for offensive or immoral behavior.

"Penitence" is a sincere admission of transgression with an implication that the penitent intends to undertake moral improvement.

"Contrition" is an absolute relinquishment of self to complete and perfect penitence for misdeeds.

"Compunction" is a simple pang of conscience for a contemplated action of questionable morality. The adjective from today's word is "remorseful."

Suggested Usage: Ogden Nash thought remorse "a violent dyspepsia of the mind" but added, "One man’s remorse is another man’s reminiscence." However, there is too little evidence of it in contemporary society, perhaps the fact that led Tom Clancy to write the book, 'Without Remorse.' We have a growing list of real and fictional heroes who resort to violence without any remorse for the consequences. This leaves me a bit remorseful myself.
