What are some examples of connotation?

Answer

Connotation is a noun for an idea or a feeling that a word evokes over and above its literal meaning; the abstract meaning or intention of a word or phrase.

The connotation is what you think of when you hear that word. For example, some people think of how cute cats are and their first cats, etc. Some people hate cats, and that's what they think of when they hear the word. Here's another example: thin and scrawny. Thin has the more positive connotation. Scrawny sounds malnourished and perhaps unkempt, but thin sounds attractive and positive.

Denotation:

Snake - "any of numerous scaly, legless, sometimes venomous reptiles having a long, tapering, cylindrical body and found in most tropical and temperate regions."

Connotation:

Snake - evil or dangerous.
