buzzkill? killjoy?

Do you guys know these words? They are both nouns and have similar meanings.


Buzzkill



A buzz, is when you are a bit drunk or on drugs and feel nice, happy and comfortable. So a buzzkill, is when something or someone kills your buzz. Basically, it ruins your mood.

Oh no! Ben's coming to the party? He's a total buzzkill.

I was having a great night out with my buddies when my wife called my cell. It was a major buzzkill.

 Killjoy



This is basically the same as buzzkill. It is something or someone who kills your joy.


My science teacher is a real killjoy, he never let's us have fun in class.

What a bunch of killjoys~! I can't believe the cops made us cancel our party...


Have a great weekend,


Phil
