If you guessed Cry Wolf was September‘s #WickedWords movie theme - you were correct!

Now I know what you are thinking, Elizabeth (@AsYouWish) I didn‘t know this movie even existed! While it is not widely known, it is amazing and I highly recommend it!!

JessClark78 I loved that movie! 3w

AsYouWish @JessClark78 YAY!! Someone else knows this movie!!!! I used to watch it daily because I would also catch new things every time I watched it!! Also Bon Jovi!!!! 3w

JessClark78 @AsYouWish Yes! I have the DVD. I was waiting all month to see if it was the right movie. 😂 3w

September is done! #WickedWords @AsYouWish

Best: Gouda Friends was a pretty fun romance.

Worst: Road Trip, URGH.

Graphic novel well worth checking out: The Puzzling Fate of Millicent Graves: this is really fun. Read it for yourself or gift it to a middle grade person in your life.

AsYouWish Yay!!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙 4w

Every wondered about the origin behind the word, Wednesday? And why isn‘t it pronounced Wed-nes-day, so weird. Anyway, here you go! I always thought the days of the week were all named for Roman gods - nope! #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords
Also, an article: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/02/why-wednesday-the-days-of-the-week...

TheBookHippie Oh this is fascinating!!!! 1mo

CBee @TheBookHippie I thought I was being lazy by actually choosing the word “Wednesday” but, it ended up being a lot more interesting 🤓 1mo

TheBookHippie @CBee it‘s really fun. Look how smart you are!!! 1mo

CBee @TheBookHippie aw gee 💚💚💚 1mo

CatLass007 It really should be pronounced Wed-nes-day. 1mo

TheBookHippie @CatLass007 💯 1mo

Bookwomble I've always pronounced it wed-ns-day 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo

Daisey Great choice for today‘s word! 1mo

kspenmoll I thought the same, from the Romans. This was such fun!!!! 1mo

BookmarkTavern How cool! 🤩 1mo

dabbe I love learning new things! Thanks, m'dear! 🧡🩶💜 1mo

CBee @Bookwomble I say “Wensday” 🤷‍♀️😂 1mo

AnnCrystal 👏🏼🤩👍🏼💝💝💝 I loved when I first learned about this...also Woden connects with the God Odin, the chief Norse God. 1mo

CBee @AnnCrystal yes, I read that! I really need to read more Norse mythology. (edited) 1mo

AnnCrystal @CBee ☺️👌🏼 mythology is incredibly fun.

The name connection for Thursday is my favorite.

Funny thing, is that I've learned a boatload of legends from around the world and realized a few years ago that (in comparison) I know so little about the legends from my own ancestral world 😂🤔🥺 I'm currently on a journey to correct this about myself ☺️💫📚💝. (edited) 1mo

Cuilin I love stuff like this!!!! Thank you for sharing. 1mo

CBee @AnnCrystal that sounds fascinating! Best of luck on your journey 💚 1mo

CBee @Cuilin yay! So glad 💚 1mo

lil1inblue I love this! Etymology is fascinating. 💫 🌟 💫 1mo

CBee @lil1inblue the stars you added remind me of “the more you know” 😂😊💚 1mo

lil1inblue @CBee That was what I was thinking about! I'm glad someone understood my thought process. 🤣 1mo

CBee @lil1inblue from your posts and interacting with you a little, I think I can follow along pretty well. In the midst of our meteorology joint pain journey, we could also start a #randomthoughtsclub 😂😂 1mo

#WeirdWordWednesday

A certain someone‘s voice is cacophonous to me. While in the literal sense of the word I might be wrong but the physical response I get when I accidentally hear it makes it seem so.
