Ludicrous, adjective, "so foolish, unreasonable, or out of place as to be amusing; ridiculous."
It's ludicrous when someone breaks their arm in a work-related accident on Monday and it takes five days to have surgery because there are no available surgeons or operating rooms at UHNBC. Meanwhile, the people that govern this province have a $1.68 billion surplus and don't know where to spend it properly.
Ludicrous synonyms: absurd, ridiculous, farcical, laughable, risible, preposterous, foolish, mad, insane, idiotic, stupid, inane, silly, asinine, nonsensical, crazy.
Just thinking out loud but did I use the word ludicrous properly?
