WeirdWordWednesday

This word popped into my head—I don‘t know why. However, I‘ve always found it a word whose sound is expressive of its action! #WeirdWords #WeirdWordWednesday

CBee As a former dancer, I love this 💚 5d

CindyMyLifeIsLit @CBee I took ballet in college. It gave me a healthy appreciation for the level of skill and athleticism required for that very difficult discipline! I also learned that my future did not include a tutu! 😂 4d

CBee @CindyMyLifeIsLit ha, same! I never got the hang of dancing en pointe - my feet are too flat and ankles too weak! 🩰 4d

Another example of a word that doesn‘t look or sound like what you think it should mean. If someone said this to me and I didn‘t know the word, I might respond with “bless you” or “gesundheit” 😂😂 #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

Born.A.Reader I do that too!! Say bless you or something after a weird/long word 😂 6d

dabbe It would be fun to say something like “I fescued in the fescue!“ 🤣💚🤣 6d

CatLass007 Great word! I didn‘t know what it meant but I don‘t think it sounds like anything in particular. I usually am able to get the gist of a word from the context in which it is used, and if I‘m interested in learning more, I‘ll look it up. But gesundheit does seem like a great response to some words. 6d

CatLass007 Thank you so much for hosting this and #TBRTarot! 6d

CBee @dabbe now, if anyone ever says there isn‘t a word that rhymes with rescue, we can prove them wrong 😂 “A dramatic rescue in the fescue” 😁🤓 6d

CBee @CatLass007 💚💚💚 6d

CBee @Born.A.Reader 😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 6d

dabbe @CBee ... and we didn't even have a clue or cue! 😍 6d

Daisey Growing up on a farm raising livestock and cutting our own hay, this is an incredibly common word. Always interesting to see words from another perspective. 6d

CBee @dabbe 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💚💚💚 6d

CBee @Daisey definitely! 6d

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive #WeirdWord #weirdwordwednesday

Today‘s haiku is inspired by the joy found in a tiny soft warm cookie 🍪 handed out by my server at brunch today “for the holidays.” I love the word Lagniappe:

“Lagniappe is a word used in Louisiana to refer to a free giveaway or a small gift added to a purchase or experience as a little something extra.”

Has my day been absolutely full of things that need doing, and have I enjoyed being around and helping the people I love? Yes.

Am I looking forward to tomorrow when nothing is expected or needed of me, and I can bury myself in blankets and books? Also yes.

Aims42 Oooo, I love this word!! 😌 4w

TimEW I want to use this word. Could I say “I am practicing fjaka today” or “I love fjaka”? I am saying it over and over again, as my new word of the day. 😊🙏 4w

BookmarkTavern @TimEW From what I read, the most common usage seems to be along the lines of “I am on fjaka” or “someone is in fjaka”. (edited) 4w

dabbe 🩶🩵🤍 4w

TimEW @BookmarkTavern Would it be like saying “I‘m on a retreat or vacation” taking in nature or meditating. 4w

BookmarkTavern @TimEW That sounds right to me! 😁 4w

dabbe Not to be confused with sophomoric! I loved teasing my sophomores with that one--especially when they're behavior warranted it! 💚🩶♥️ 4w
