The combination of the words dreary and dismal. To be used when something is disappointingly inadequate while also being grievous, dire, and appalling.
It was a dark and drismal night. Everything had gone wrong, the rain was coming down in sheets, and death was lurking around the corner.
A last name of a very few select people. The name derives from ancient gods. Not to be confused with the Drysdales from the "Beverly Hillbillies". It's very irritating when it is confused with that show.
You will not likely find a Drisdale in your phonebook because they are very rare these days.
