I just like this word. Hubby asked what it meant and I told him then said “like me!” 😂😂😂 At least well read 😂😉 (also the faction I think I‘d be part of in the Divergent series 🤓) *edited to add that I‘d totally be in the Amity faction, I was way off base lol*

CatLass007 I still haven‘t read the Divergent series. I‘ve got it, I just haven‘t gotten to it yet. Erudite is a great word! 2d
dabbe I just “borrowed“ DIVERGENT from one of our Little Free Libraries in the 'hood because it was listed as a favorite bildungsroman on a #TLT! Love this word, too! 🤩 2d
CBee @CatLass007 it‘s good! And I decided I wouldn‘t be Erudite, I‘d be Amity. No idea what I was thinking 😂 1d

Immediately thought of “squint,” and apparently it‘s a similar meaning 😀 Plus a cool architectural thingy. Enjoy ☺️☺️ #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

CatLass007 Thanks! I want you to know that I always share these with my youngest nephew (18!!?) who enjoys learning new words. 1w
CBee @CatLass007 that makes me very happy 😊♥️ 1w
CatLass007 Me too! Except for the fact that he‘s not a baby anymore.👶 1w

TieDyeDude Not quite the same thing, but my first thought seeing this was the Grand Central Terminal “Whispering Gallery“ https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/grand-central-terminal-whispering-gallery 1w
dabbe Who knew there was a word for that? And such a fun one to say out loud! 🤩🤗😀 1w
Amiable Ooh, that's a good one! 1w
CBee @CatLass007 they really do grow up way too fast 😳 1w
CBee @TieDyeDude that is the coolest - thanks for sharing 🤗 1w
CatLass007 😱 1w
CBee @dabbe I think I‘ll use squinch rather than squint from now on, just for fun. And to confuse people 😀😂 1w

To be fair, I think we also need to add polyHERSter and polyTHEIRSter to the dictionary. 😀

julieclair Does anyone even know how to sing like that anymore? 1mo
TheBookHippie @julieclair Actually yes, Jazz Clubs I‘ve heard some good stuff. Post Modern Jukebox comes close. It‘s lovely isn‘t it? 1mo
julieclair So, you just sent me scurrying to Spotify. I‘d never heard of Postmodern Jukebox. Oh my! Their cover of Jolene is unbelievable! Gut wrenching. I‘m an instant fan! 1mo

This is one I figured out from context clues but I enjoy the definition - "a violent expression"
