とんでもな・い 5
(形)
〔「途(と)でもない」の転という〕
(1)全く思いがけない。常識では考えられない。意外だ。とほうもない。
「海上都市とは―・い計画だ」「―・い時間に訪問して恐縮です」
(2)(非難する気持ちをこめて)たいへんなことだ。けしからん。
「全く―・いことをしでかしてくれた」「―・いぬれぎぬだ」
(3)相手の言うことを強く否定する語。
「『景気がよさそうだな』『―・い、赤字で困っている』」
とんでもないはブルシットの意味とは程遠いし、「飛ぶ」とも全く関係なし。
しっかりしてよ、みみこちゃん。 とんでもないは、途方もないことで、英語の
ちょうど、Unbelievable!, Outrages!, It's crazy!, Out of question! など
など。
