Vocabulary
A raw, jittery feeling.
Hi,
I know the words, "raw" and "jittery" but am not fully familiar with them. Would you rephrase the underlined or explain it?
A few months after being put on the market, the building was sold and painted hot pink with tangerine trim. The combination of colors gave the house a raw, jittery feeling. Stare at the facade for more than a minute, and the doors and windows appeared to tremble, as if suffering the effects of a powerful amphetamine.
Thank you,
M
