Definition
the quality of being out of place
- "How do you do, Miss Taggart," she said in a lazily gracious voice, a drawing-room voice which seemed to strike, in that office, the same style of incongruity as her suit and her bow.3.3 Part 3 Chapter 3 — Anti-Greed (65% in)
- She wore a tailored suit, with a loose, bright bow hanging casually sidewise for a note of elegant incongruity, and a small hat tilted at an angle considered smart by virtue of being considered amusing; her face was a shade too smooth, her steps a shade too slow, and she walked almost as if she were swinging her hips.3.3 Part 3 Chapter 3 — Anti-Greed (65% in)
There are no more uses of "incongruity" in Atlas Shrugged.
