Virago

That's the word of the day according the world's most insipid Word of the Day generator on the right over there. Seriously, the first three or four words that it generated were just insanely easy--germane, potentate, effusive and hoary come to mind--but I'm too lazy to remove it, plus I thought there might eventually be a good word or two, so I left it.

And today's word entertains me (I should have read my own blog before I posted the other thing below, eh?).

How appropriate, nay, I'll say GERMANE to this blog that virago means:
A large, strong, courageous or aggressive woman.

I need to incorporate that into my blog description, don't you think? Maybe edit it a bit and leave out the large part because, well, that's not so flattering really, no matter how true.

Hyperbole is the word today. I tried to use it in a sentence.

I'm using petulant today as in: My Dbf acts like a petulant child!

guiddity - The essence or nature of a thing.

I think I mostly just like it because the definition contains the word "thing" and that is my favorite word.

P.S. I have a myspace page. My work computer hates myspace so I haven't been logging on as much. I will attempt to get there this afternoon and add you.
