Re: Incongruous
Not suitable, but not in a rebuking sense. We wouldn't say "The child's tantrum was incongruous." Unless we wanted to point out that the child is usually well-behaved, and we'd probably put an explanatory bit after the incongruous.
Not suitable, in the sense of not fitting in. An extra in the movie Spartacus wearing a wrist watch would be incongruous.
Thunks?
(Think, thank, thunk)

Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
