My lilacs are blooming, my hydrangeas are up. And the roses are budding! I am so ready for spring.

This word also has a chemistry related definition, used to describe the process of a substance loosing moisture and turning into a fine powder, but I like the first one better.

CBee I like the first one better, too. Because flowers ♥️ 2d
Read-n-Bloom Awwwww 😫 I missed Weird Word Wednesday! Dadnabit! 😂 2d

I came across this one today. It comes from 'elegy'. Another definition calls it wistfully mournful, which I liked
The book I read it in was describing a poem in which "she sees the woman she‘s in love with sitting next to a man, and admires his composure. Because she knows if she were the one sitting next to the woman, she would be at a loss for words."
I've been reading a lot more poetry this month so I appreciate this new word

peanutnine I believe the poem described was Catullus 51 for anyone interested https://www.poetryintranslation.com/PITBR/Latin/Catullus.php#... 2w
CBee Lovely 🥰 2w
wanderinglynn What a great word! 2w

Stumbled upon this word in my last read - The Devil and Mrs. Davenport (great book). I didn‘t know there was a specific word for speaking in tongues, but I mean, apparently there is a word for everything 😂🙌🏻 #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

Deblovestoread Oooo, I like that word! Thanks for the tag! 2w
CatLass007 I think I‘ve heard this one before. Maybe on an episode of House? Still, great to have all the extra info. 2w
dabbe Such a pretty word when said out loud! 🩵💚💙 2w

Nope, it‘s not a type of multivitamin 😂 Just a super cool musical instrument that is apparently quite hard to master. Links: https://youtu.be/-QgTF8p-284?si=yBQCF2IBXR-Z3Tq6

TheSpineView Neat! Thanks for the tag!💛🏷 1mo
Deblovestoread Makes me think of a Big Bang episode. That‘s where I learned about them. 😀 1mo
Bookwomble One of my favourite bands, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion use a theremin on their earlier albums. And the mighty Portishead have been known to dabble! 1mo
AlaMich A theremin also featured in Severance in this last season. The actor learned to play for the role 1mo
dabbe How effin cool is this? 🤩🎶🤩 1mo
CBee @Bookwomble oh, I love Portishead. A theramin has such an eerie sound and them using it makes perfect sense 👏🏻 1mo
CBee @AlaMich I read about that! I haven‘t watched Severance but all I hear are good things! 1mo
CBee @BookmarkTavern wow! How‘d that go? I‘m very musical but it looks so daunting! 1mo
BookmarkTavern She loved it! It was a challenge and that‘s what drew her to it! 1mo
Amiable @Deblovestoread Ha ha, me too! I saw this and immediately thought of Sheldon Cooper. 😄 1mo

FRIENDS!! Posting late but I didn‘t want anyone to miss out on the absolute cuteness that is the pygmy marmoset! Sometimes I veer off course with the “weird” part, because cute animals 😂 Here‘s an article about them: https://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/pygmy-marmoset #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

CatLass007 Cuuute! 1mo
Susanita Oh my goodness!! 1mo

AmyG I love all monkeys! 🐒 1mo
ncsufoxes My 15 year old is obsessed with the golden lion tamarins (he‘s obsessed with all types of monkeys). We saw them last summer at the zoo in Rhode Island. He still talks about them. We live close to the zoo in DC & just found out they have emperor ones (they have a long mustache). We used to live in San Diego & were frequent visitors of the zoo but I don‘t remember the marmosets. (edited) 1mo

Leftcoastzen So cute! 1mo
TheSpineView Adorable 1mo
CBee @ncsufoxes I love them too! We have cotton-top tamarins at our local zoo. They look like what Einstein would look like if he were a monkey I think 😂 1mo

I‘m positive this word has been shared before for #WeirdWordWednesday , but I had to take some books off of a bookshelf today because the shelf has developed a concerning curve to it. So it‘s been on my mind. 😂😂 #WeirdWords

I‘m going to need to buy another bookshelf. 😅

shortsarahrose I grabbed a free, recently deleted book from the library I work at yesterday. Put it on top of a massive stack on top of one of my shelves. It fell off within minutes. So I put it on a different massive stack 😆 I have a problem 🫠 1mo
BookmarkTavern @shortsarahrose Sounds like a good problem to have! 😆 1mo
CBee Same problem here 😂🤪 1mo
