Last night at SWAT, Students Working Among Teens (A.K.A. youth group leadership) we were asked to define the word Abomination... well we decided to break the work up into it's little roots and prefixes and suffixes and here's what we got:
A- against, not, lacking
Bom- something that is totally cool
Tion- since it's pronounced shun that's what it means
.....so the REAL definition is as follows
Abomination- to shun something that is not totally cool
Sentence: She is abominationing the new girl at school.
....so now you've learned a new definition and how to figure out definitions of words when you don't know them....
P.S. If you want to know the real definition there's a handy tool called a dictionary that YOU can use....

I randomly thought of this word and your definition this morning at 5:30ish, when I was trying to sleep, and I couldn't remember what your definition was, but I came up with a new one:
A-Bomb (atomic bomb)
ination (a contraction for "in a nation")
So, that means the Iraq war is going because we thought Iraq had an abomination.
