Conge - a podcast by Word of the Day

Conge is a noun that refers to an unceremonious dismissal.

Coming originally from the Latin word commeatus (comb may OT toos) which means ‘go and come,’ our word of the day was later imported into French and is now used to refer to a dismissal of some kind. It can be used formally or casually. An example of its casual use: Gloria was willing to endure all of my personal quirks up to a point. But when I revealed I was more of a Star Trek fan than Star Wars fan, it was time for her give me my conge.
