Euphonius: Pleasing to the Ear

February 3rd, 2010

Euphonious. Your friend has a big solo with the orchestra. After the show, she asks, breathlessly, “So? What’d you think?”

“It was amazing,” you say. “You were… euphonious!”

She bursts into tears. “I’m… phony?” she sobs.

“No,” you say. “Euphonious. Harmonious, delightful to the ear, opposite of cacophonous….? I learned it on 30 Second Words.”

“Oh,” she says, sniffling. As you walk away, she mutters, “Showoff.”

Euphonius: pleasing to the ear.
