What does that mean?

Quite difficult looking words….aren’t they? Let’s start with ‘Ambi’ , which is common between the two words – Ambi is not a word but a root which means ‘both’ or ‘both sides’ . ‘Ambidextrous’ is someone who is skillful in using both the right and left hand equally well. Similarly, ‘Ambisinister’ is someone who is clumsy or unskillful with both the hands.

Think the title makes it clear that Cachinnate means to laugh loudly, immodestly or continuously.  But by the looks of it – the word Laugh and Cachinnate look so distant in meaning. There's nothing that connects the two words. Pronounced as /Kæ-Ki-neit/ The sound æ is pronounced like the " a " in a pple.

Job + Robbery….  That’s a portmanteau morph – discussed in one of my earlier posts. Literally means using one’s public office or position of trust for the sake of improper private gain. Reminds me of Karnataka CM Yeddyurappa's 18 land scams amounting to over 150 crores.

Again, this is a part of Greek mythology. Pandora was the first woman on Earth (again, do these story-creators find anyone other than women???). She was given a jar and was asked NOT TO OPEN it under any circumstance. It's believed Pandora's box (jar) contained all the evils of the world. As usual, out of curiosity, she opened the box... all the evils were released. But she quickly closed the box - trapping the last one - HOPE inside the box. So if, someone talks about the Pandora's box it means - a process once begun/ or something once done that only generates more complicated problems further.
