Uncovering the Gory Details: Definition, Usage, and Synonyms
The gory details often refer to the unpleasant particulars of a situation. Though initially tied to blood and violence, the modern usage can cover anything from the unstirred moments of a business deal to the juicy morsels of someone’s divorce. Think Dickens’ Barnaby Rudge: “Something will come of this. I hope it mayn’t be human gore.” Yikes! Nowadays, it’s less murder mystery and more about the nitty-gritty.
