I am so glad I looked that up for context! Thank you for completing your work so promptly. A+ for today! Thank you also for bringing your materials to class and arriving on time. Would you like a sticker? I have glitter smiley faces, plain smiley faces, and these lovely stars that change color depending on the light. Sorry, I'm out of superheroes for today...
(Neglecting easy political examples). "Nefarious" is perhaps more frequently used today with irony than its direct meaning. Unlike "notorious," however, it has not been morphed into a near-antonym by popular misuse of that mechanism.
If I have 1/3 instead of 2/3 of a cup of oil (& can't get some from a neighbor), I make 1/2 the recipe. But I guess adding an egg works. If I'm halving a recipe that calls for 1 egg (or 3), I add a little oil.
A good friend of mine never buys from Amazon. She goes to a store, or does without. According to her (& she has a point) Amazon is evil -- they treat their employees like dirt, & there have been deaths on the job as a result. I get from Amazon what I can't get elsewhere, or can't get easily elsewhere. For instance, I recently bought a computer that was recommended by Consumers, and the only place selling it was Amazon.
‘Your vocabulary word for today is “nefarious.” Please use it in a sentence that does not include “behavior.”’
“Nefarious was not a Pharaoh in the Fifth Dynasty.”

What you're saying is, in your view, Amazon is nefarious.

Well, that's what my friend says.
Peanut butter balls sound yum.
