Volunteering is a good thing. I think we can all agree on that. I volunteer for three organizations locally, and enjoy it very much.
Most of us have been in the situation where we did not volunteer at one time or another. Someone, usually a boss or spouse, volunteers for us.
I recently found out that if you are “volunteered” it is called voluntold. As in your boss or spouse voluntold you for a task. This usually seems to be for a job that is unpleasant. Sometimes this is disguised as a suggestion. Yeah, right.
This made up word is a combination of the words volunteer and told.
I bet you have been voluntold a time or two.
