I think reviewers have become particularly venomous because, in a way, the power has been sucked from them. A 15-year-old can write a review on the Internet and it means as much as Roger Ebert's review, and that just makes Roger Ebert mad, so he comes out harder and stronger.

Use 'venomous' to describe animals like snakes, spiders, or scorpions that inject venom, not for poisonous plants.

Animal Context

'Venomous' refers to the method of delivering poison, distinguishing it from 'poisonous', where the toxin is passively transferred.

Not All Danger

Use 'venomous' when the animal poses an immediate danger via a bite or sting, implying a need for caution.

Immediate Threat

When used metaphorically, 'venomous' emphasizes the intensity of negative emotions.

Figurative Language

'Venomous' implies a purposeful desire to harm with words, more intense than simply being unkind or rude.

Negative Connotation

Use 'venomous' to describe words or actions filled with malice, spite, or intentions to harm, not just general anger.

Not Just Anger
