It‘s #WeirdWordWednesday I‘m sharing the cover of the final book in a trilogy today. I‘ve previously shared the covers of the first two books, because the titles are all #WeirdWords, which I hope you all have enjoyed.

CBee I‘m very much enjoying your word choices! 😊 5mo
CatLass007 @CBee If I hadn‘t just happened upon this trilogy searching for something else, I doubt I‘d have anything to post. But I just love the way the covers are designed and the marvelous words that the author chose as his book titles. 5mo

#WeirdWordsWednesday This picture is the cover of a book I haven‘t read. It‘s actually the second book in a trilogy that I haven‘t read. But I really like the covers and the books sound interesting.

CBee I really like this word! 5mo

I don‘t have the book yet but I thought it would be fun to share the cover for #WeirdWordsWednesday.

CBee Oooo, this is a word I‘ve never heard of and didn‘t know existed - thank you 😊👍🏻 (edited) 6mo
CatLass007 @CBee You‘re welcome. It‘s the first book in a trilogy and if I get a chance to listen to this one and I like it, I‘ll make sure to tag you on those when I listen to them. 5mo
CBee @CatLass007 that would be great! Thank you! 5mo
Bookwomble The first time I came across this word was in a short story which had a vicious dog coming for the MC, and it described their fear of the approaching animal's "mordacious proprinquity", and it's a phrase I've never forgotten and, though rarely, have used! 5mo
CatLass007 @Bookwomble Mordacious AND propinquity in the same sentence?! Excellent!😂 5mo

I found some more #weirdwords. The only word I know is skein but that‘s because I crochet. I learned crochet terminology when I taught myself how to crochet. I taught myself by watching YouTube videos. Skein is a crochet term used in crochet but I didn‘t know it had more than one definition. I thought it was only a crochet term.

I just saw this comic on Facebook with fancy words and the only word I‘ve heard of is Fritter but when I saw the word Fritter, I only thought of the food item Chicken Fritters. I haven‘t had Chicken Fritters but I like Chicken. Now, I want Chicken Fritters. They look good.

#weirdwordwednesday Saw this in an Etsy store.

Schnapsidee: German - An idea so ridiculous you must have been drunk when you thought it up.

Although I have to ask @julesG if this is an actual German word. Curious minds want to know.

AkashaVampie haha i love that word!!! I dont drink anymore but yeah awesome word. 1y
slategreyskies I‘m curious as to whether or not it‘s a real word as well. 1y
swynn It's in LEO (the online German-English language tool) so... https://dict.leo.org/german-english/schnapsidee 1y

wanderinglynn @swynn good enough for me! 👍🏻😀 @slategreyskies 1y
CBee Hubby is German so I‘m going to see if he‘s heard of this word! Thanks for posting 💚 1y
julesG It is a real German word and the explanation is correct too. I'm offering another wonderful German word: when the result in a game of dice is made up of repeat digits it's called a "Schnapszahl" and the person who has to shout a round of Schnaps. @CBee @swynn @slategreyskies @AkashaVampie 1y
CBee @julesG very cool! 1y
swynn @julesG Love it! 1y
wanderinglynn Thanks @julesG 😀 One of these days, I‘m going to start learning German! I love all the fun words. 1y
