Word Count Wednesday- 2101

Too good to pass up!  This is the PERFECT word for this blog.  Are you ready for it?

• definition is a noun that means to abstain or keep away from; shun; avoid; OR the formal statement of the meaning or significance of a word, phrase, etc; OR the condition of being definite, distinct, or clearly outlined; OR sharpness of the image formed by an optical system; OR the accuracy of sound or picture reproduction

Ignore the fact that I dropped the zero in 10.  It was a mistake to begin with but then the word popped up and I was giddy about it so this is the word you get.

Definition is the definition of this blog!

HA!  I love this!  Okay, your turn to use the word in a sentence.  Use the comments below!

Don’t avoid this post…

…it’s not a sneeze, but it sounds like it:

eschew is a verb that means to shun, to avoid; OR to abstain or keep away from; shun; avoid

This is another word that I just like the sound.  Say it five times fast and it sounds like you’re sneezing.  Go ahead, try it, I’ll wait!

 

 

Bless you!  Oh, you were just saying eschew 5 times…hee, hee!  This is so much fun!

Phobia Monday-Sing with me!

Well, if you’re melophobic you probably won’t.  Actually, if you have melophobia then you most likely are no longer reading this post for fear that I am going to break out into song.

• melophobia is a phobia that means fear or hatred of music

Really?  Someone can actually have a HATRED of music?  I can’t imagine.  I can’t even imagine the fear of music either; although it must be true or else they wouldn’t have made a word up for it.

So tell me, do you know anyone who has a fear or hatred of music?  Want to sing a song with me?  What’s your favorite little ditty?

Answer 2.6.10

Did you see it?

Now do you see it?

I don’t know what survelliance is; but I think they meant surveillance…yeah, I didn’t purchase it.  I wasn’t going to anyway, but if I were?  I wouldn’t have.  If you can’t spell check your packages, you can’t get my business!

Weekly Blunder-2.6.10

How about this one?  As seen on a TOY SHELF at a local store!

What’s wrong with it?  You tell me!

Thursday Thesaurus- Tired

What?  I already did tired?  And it was last week?  Oh, sorry, guess I’ll have to come up with another one, right?  Sorry this is coming at the end of the day but I completely blame my husband. 

You’ll have to hear the story tomorrow over here, until then…let’s look at all the names I can call my dear husband:

bridegroom, companion, consort, groom, helpmate, hubby, mate, monogamist, monogynist, other half, partner, spouse

What?  You thought they’d be bad names?  No, he’s still the best husband around…just making me very tired!

Word Count Wednesday- 20310

I had a choice between 2310 and 20310…I chose 20310 for one reason:

I LOVE the way it sounds and the way it feels when I am saying it.  I really love the way it rolls on my tongue…yes, I am THAT strange.  Are you ready for the word?  Come on, say it aloud with me:

• gleaned is a verb that means to gather slowly and laboriously, bit by bit; OR to gather (grain or the like) after the reapers or regular gatherers; OR to learn, discover, or find out, usually little by little or slowly

I do use this word.  I think people look at me funny when I do, but I love this word.
