Uses of the word inclement

Ha ha ha, lol etc janea

We went through all the names we liked with all the permutations we could think of - but another child can always come up with something novel (and rude)! Then when a DD gets married and changes her name ....

The judge was particularly inclement when sentencing the offender.

Absolutely not hijacking the thread, but can't resist.
This one's for you *roseq*

As you were

I like the opposite too, my grandmother used to comment if the weather was unusually clement for the time of year.

it's the weather Ana!

I'm actually feeling quite inclement myself at the moment - think I'll get myself off here!

Oh, I see - yes, you could have 'inclemency of spirit' etc.

Well, there has been some bloody very inclement weather here today. Just got home from some very clement [?] hot, sunny weather overseas and I am shivering.

That's the spirit, rq and ja!

I think DH would have thought it a very fanciful name for a DD - he wasn't keen on anything I suggested!

Yes, much nicer than Clementine!
(Apologies to any GNers who may be called that, or have DGDs called that)

I always thought Clemency was a lovely name for a girl (although neither of my DDs is called Clemency)

Good one, Roseq

What is art, after all, but a protest against the horrible inclemency of life?”

I've done a little googling and found two dictionaries that give a non-weather application of 'inclement'.
Collins gives 'harsh, severe or merciless'
and Webster's College dictionary gives 'not kind or merciful'.
As in a guilty person pleading for clemency, I suppose.
I agree Bags that 'inclement' is an elegant word and I shall use it at every opportunity, both in respect of the weather, and people's temperaments

The sort of suggestions that use the word inclement, ana. Sorry if that wasn't clear. You could use the noun inclemency or the adverb inclemently if you don't want to talk about weather.

Can one be inclemently cross, for instance?

Perhaps I'd better add a #senseofhumouralert

What sort of suggestions? Surely it only applies to weather?
