厳 strict

The strict Director is picking baby birds up by their ears, and tossing them off of the cliff AGAIN.

majestic/scary ★★☆☆☆
威 (terrible majesty) + 厳 (strict) = 威厳 (majestic/scary)

majestic , slow and dignified but scary - like a bunch of gangsters slowly walking down the street while the Peter Gunn theme plays. Or a parade float of your mom's neck-beard.

strictly forbidden. ★★☆☆☆
厳 (strict) + 禁 (prohibition) = 厳禁 (strictly forbidden. )
