Due November 25th, 2013 - We all know what it’s like to have our feelings hurt. We also know how easy it is to hurt the feelings of others. Geeze, why is everyone so touchy? Because, contrary to the phrase “sticks and stones,” words can be very hurtful, or they can at least describe a hurtful action. These offending words convey some mean-spirited, low-down, and downright nasty thoughts and deeds.

In this contest, Project ED is supplying six words that are used to describe these insulting words. Pick one and create an original GIF image that illustrates the definition of the word.

The six words you can choose from in this challenge are:
  1. Snide, an adjective that means 'mean'.
  2. Jeering, an adjective that means 'rude, taunting'.
  3. Curtly, an adverb that means 'briefly and rudely'.
  4. Affront, a noun that means 'deliberate' or 'direct insult'.
  5. Haughty, an adjective that means 'self-important'.
  6. Sneer, a noun that means a 'scornful look'.
