Vocabulary Showcase: Synonyms for ‘oblivious’
Larry is going to have a very nasty surprise in a moment. For now though, he is totally ‘oblivious’ to the cat that is stalking him (he has no idea). Let’s take a look at other words which mean oblivious:
· Peter was unaware of the gigantic seagull flying behind him, looking at his bag of chips.
· Alice is ignorant to the way small children play, so she was confused when they threw toys at her face.
· Graham was heedless of (didn’t pay attention to) the danger he was in when he decided to steal a biscuit from his wife.
· Clive was quite unobservant, so it took him 3 hours to notice he had arrived at work with no clothes on.
· Tina was unsuspecting as she entered the perfume shop, so she was quite surprised when a small goat walked past her smelling pretty nice.
· Christopher was impervious to (it didn’t affect him) good advice, so he decided to drive over the wet concrete anyway.
· Janet was blind to the activity around her, and managed to walk through a funfair without noticing.
I hope Larry enjoys that peanut.
