I picked this word up whilst trying to find synonyms for miserable in my thesaurus. I assume you all know what miserable means therefore I will just provide you with a definition of the synonym I happened across.
Abject:
1. Utterly hopeless, miserable, humiliating, or wretched.
2. Contemptible; despicable
Sentence Example:
The situation seemed completely abject to Lucas; there seemed to be no right answer and he seemed to be facing zugzwang.
This sentence example neatly leads me onto the second word for today, and no it's not a made up word!
Zugzwang:
A situation in which a player is limited to moves that have a damaging effect.
Pronouced: TSOOK-TSVAHNG
