Omenish

Just received this email from my subscription to Wordsmith (as a legit geek should) about my recent character:
This week's theme: eponyms.

jeremiah (jer-uh-MY-uh) noun

A person who complains continually, has a gloomy attitude,
or one who warns about a disastrous future.

[After Jeremiah, a Hebrew prophet during the seventh and sixth centuries
BCE who prophesied the fall of the kingdom of Judah and whose writings
are collected in the Book of Jeremiah and the Book of Lamentations.]
Not cool!
