Today is a typical Monday. I’m tired, hungry, and I don’t want to be at work! Ever have one of those days? If you haven’t, you must be under the age of 5
Anyway, I felt the need for a creative jumpstart, so I signed up for a Word of the Day calendar on www.pageaday.com. The word for today wasn’t that fun (I don’t even remember it now), but I was able to look at past days, too. I didn’t feel like doing anything else just yet, and I figured it might also give me a few ideas for my blog name, so I wandered all the way back to April. Here are a few of the most appealing words I found … and their meanings
:
- “recrudescence” – renewal
- “mettlesome” – spirited, plucky, brave
- “bedizen” – to dress gaudily
- “gallimaufry” – hodgepodge
- “demotic” – common/popular
- “kowtow” – fawn, worship, show deep respect
- “borborygmus” – tummy rumbling
