Definitions

noun

1

A general belief that bad things will happen.

T2 isn’t as good as T1: it is a little too long and unwinds a bit into caper sentimentality, broad comedy and self-mythologising. But it has the same punchy energy, the same defiant pessimism, and there’s nothing around like it. This sequel was a high-wire act, but Boyle has made it to the other side.

2

The doctrine that this world is the worst of all possible worlds.

3

The condition of being pessimal.
