Came across this in A FATAL GRACE by Louise Penny. Definitely something we don't experience in Phoenix, AZ!

CBee Perfect! I‘m actually on #6 in the series! Still cold and icy 😂 2w

dabbe @CBee 🤩😂🤗 2w

CSeydel I once used this word in a history paper in high school. My teacher took points off because he didn‘t know what it meant. One of the worst teachers I have ever had (and not just because of that). 2w

dabbe @CSeydel Translation from teacher: How dare you profess to know a word that I don't? You must have made it up or looked it up in the dictionary! #oy 🙄😂🤗 2w

Suet624 This qualifies as a descriptor of my current local weather. 2w

dabbe @Suet624 🩵❄️🩵 2w

CBee @CSeydel omg that‘s terrible! Shame on him 😡 2w

A little less morose than last week's word. Things must be looking up.

AmyG @dabbe Did you get Matt‘s book? 1mo

CBee Ooooo a good one. I thought about posting “fecund” today but for some reason thought I‘d already done that one at some point. Reading “Mythos” and Demeter is fecund in that she keeps things growing and fertile ♥️ 1mo

dabbe @CBee Another excellent one. Fun to pronounce and mispronounce, too! 😂 1mo

CBee @dabbe 😂😂😂 1mo

I love color words! The bird is a flavescent bulbul, and the fish is a flavescent peacock (a type of cichlid). Apologies for not posting the past two weeks, friends! #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

CatLass007 If I had seen this word before today, I would have thought it was a word that was a description of the way something tastes.😂 But now I know better. Good word!! Thanks for sharing. 1mo

TheSpineView Good one! ❤️ 1mo

TheBookHippie I love birds 🙂🙃 what a fun word! 1mo

psalva This is a fun one! I haven‘t posted in forever because ever since an iPhone update my phone app is not functioning the same, but hopefully i can resolve it if i get some free time to look into it soon. Thanks for the continued tags! I always look forward to #weirdwords! 1mo

CBee @CatLass007 ha! I definitely didn‘t expect it to mean a shade of yellow 😂 1mo

CBee @TheBookHippie isn‘t this little guy cute? So yellow and poofy. 1mo

CBee @BookmarkTavern it‘s such a happy color 💛 1mo

CBee @psalva oh no! I‘m sorry to hear that. Have you reached out to Litsy help? 1mo
