sardonic (comparative more sardonic, superlative most sardonic)
1.Scornfully mocking or cynical.
He distances himself from people with his nasty, sardonic laughter.
2.Disdainfully or ironically humorous.
[Etymology]
French sardonique, from Latin sardonius, from Ancient Greek σαρδόνιος (sardonios), alternative form of σαρδάνιος (sardanios, “bitter or scornful laughter”), which is often cited as deriving from the Sardinian plant (Ranunculus sardous), known as either σαρδάνη (sardanē) or σαρδόνιον (sardonion). When eaten, it would cause the eater's face to contort in a look resembling scorn (generally followed by death). It might also be related to σαίρω (sairō, “I grin”).

absolute (comparative more absolute or (rarely) absoluter, superlative most absolute or (rarely) absolutest)
1.Loosed from any limitation or condition; uncontrolled; unrestricted; unconditional; as, absolute authority, monarchy, sovereignty, an absolute promise or command.
2.1962, Hannah Arendt, On Revolution, (1990), page 155
[T]he more absolute the ruler, the more absolute the revolution will be which replaces him.
3.Complete in itself; perfect; consummate; faultless.

4.So absolute she seems, And in herself complete. —John Milton

6.Loosed from, or unconnected by, dependence on any other being; self-existent; self-sufficing.
Note: In this sense God is called the Absolute by the theist.

7.Capable of being thought or conceived by itself alone; unconditioned; non-relative.
Note: It is in dispute among philosophers whether the term, in this sense, is not applied to a mere logical fiction or abstraction, or whether the absolute, as thus defined, can be known, as a reality, by the human intellect.

flirt (not comparable)
1.pert; wanton
[Antonyms]

[Etymology]
1553, from the merger of Early Modern English flirt (“to flick”), flurt (“to mock, jibe, scorn”), and flirt, flurt (“a giddy girl”). Of obscure origin and relation. Apparently related to similar words in Germanic, compare Eastern Frisian flirt (“a flick of the fingers, a light blow”), Eastern Frisian flirtje (“a giddy girl”), Low German flirtje (“a flirt”), German Flirtchen (“a flirt”), Norwegian flira (“to giggle, titter”). Perhaps from Middle English gill-flurt (“a flirt”), or an alteration of flird (“a trifling", also, "to jibe, jeer at”), from Middle English flerd (“mockery, fraud, deception”), from Old English fleard (“nonsense, vanity, folly, deception”). Compare Scots flird (“to talk idly, flirt, flaunt”). See flird.
