Plaintive can be split into
plain(plane)+tive(relative).
Suppose a relative dies in a plane crash, we mourn.
Thus plaintive = mourn.
Sorry for the sadistic mnemonic.
lol its so easy wtf
plaintive = remove L pain + tive = mournful
plain means to complain. one who always complain is sorrowful,mournful
flat + attitude:
something flat does not attract us as it is very common. So you will obviously give trite remarks.
or we can think of plastic: it is veru cheap and of very little value just like platitude
Latitudes vary from place to place ...whereas Platitude is common to all ..i.e. COMMONPLACE...ORDINARY ... TRITE...
Take it as (PLATE + ATTITUDE) this hungry man was throwing the PLATE on server face bcos of serving late. Chef is obviously strongly REMARKING towards his ATTITUDE.
we can also link it with american millitary where the freshman is known as pleb..because fresher are generally bad dressers and unsocial.
People in LEBANON are lesbians; LEbanon contains all common people doing vulgar things..
plebeian - sounds like pedestrian, almost all pedestrians are common people
divide this like P(here it stands for people)+lebeian..sounds like Lebanon in south west asia & economy of this country is in disatrous state due to civil strife.so people of this country are not rich -only middle class people&they are commen people.
like if you go home after many days, your mother will insist that you eat more. What she will say is "Pe Le + Thoda Aur Le"
ultimately, aisai lene se, it will become an excess at the end. You will be full :)
