discommode (dis-kuh-MOD) verb tr.
To put to inconvenience.
"Much art today has abandoned the ambition to please the viewer
aesthetically. Instead, it seeks to shock, discommode, repulse,
proselytize, or startle."
Roger Kimball; Art Without Beauty; The Public Interest (Washington, DC);
Apr 15, 1997.
This quote is true, sadly. I liked getting to see this new word used as well.

Hmmm. Yes, interesting word.
Alternate deffinition
discommode - v. To remove a toilet.
This would be very inconvenient!
All punns aside
Art just isn't what it used to be.now people promote things in the name of art that have no business being in a museum. (or on my living room wall for that matter)
We need to get back to the original art from the original artist. Mainly Creation, from the Great Creator, God Himself. We as a people have strayed too far.
However, This does encourage me. You see the Bible says that in these last times things would get worse. This makes me look forward to the time when my Lord will take me home.
