💡 Example 💡 unreason
unreason (noun): Traditionally, black American dance students have been consistently steered away from classical ballet and toward the supposedly more “suitable” fields of modern, ethnic or Broadway-chorus dancing. The Harlem Dance Theater performances showed beyond doubt that the practice was based not on rhyme but on prejudiced unreason.

Bailey maintained the patient's comfort. The doctor would be in to see them soon.
- (Bailey) The patient was in a lot of pain. I had given Sarah her daily doses of painkillers, but they don't seem to be working.
- Maybe she needs something stronger.
- The doctor was coming in to see Sarah soon. He can revise her medications then.
- It must be hard to see the patients in pain.
- It can be, especially when the medications aren't helping much. They get no relief.
- I don't know how you do it.
