what is the definition of jaded?

Answer 1

Hey Houston,

jad·ed (jdd) KEY

ADJECTIVE:

Worn out; wearied: "My father's words had left me jaded and depressed" (William Styron).
Dulled by surfeit; sated: "the sickeningly sweet life of the amoral, jaded, bored upper classes" (John Simon).
Cynically or pretentiously callous.

Answer 2

I see marriage as a religious belief that is between a man and a woman, of any race. However, if a gay or lesbian couple want a civil union, that will be legally seen as a marriage, then I'm all for that. That should also be extended to anyone, gay or straight, who wants to be "married" but does not want the religious aspect.

Answer 3

Without using a dictionary, I would have to say that it is a word describing a state of mental and emotional deterrioration reaching a point of - or very very close to - carelessness and indifference.

Answer 4
