Atonement

ATONEMENT:

  1. Embolism of the will.
  2. To raise a sin from a vice to a virtue.
  3. A borax that kills the vermin of remorse, but that can not be relied upon to kibosh their breeding-place.
  4. An immunity-bath in preparation for transgressions to come. (Among certain religious sects, the Day of Atonement is the day on which all gonofs line up for a fresh start.)
