WORD OF THE DAY: Poltroon


Hotelier Middle East Staff, February 14th, 2010

Poltroon: (noun) an absolute coward

In a sentence:

Concierge: Why is the valet running away from the hotel?

Security guard: You see that Ferrari on fire crashed into the back of that taxi?

Concierge: Yes.

Security guard: That is the Sheikh’s car and the valet was driving it.

Concierge: He is such a poltroon; he should have stayed and explained to the Sheikh.

Security guard: Here comes the Sheikh now, looks like you will have to explain.

Concierge: Apparently I am a poltroon as well. Good luck security guard. Taxi!
