Cacophony

Word to the Wise: Cacophony

A “cacophony” (kuh-KOF-uh-nee) – from the Greek for “harsh sounding” – is a loud, jarring, discordant noise.

Example (as used by John Carlton today): “I hear from entrepreneurs all the time who were shocked, saddened, and even discouraged by the cacophony of negative voices around them when they decided to try their hand at marketing.”
