A Word To The Wise

Despite the sound of the title, this blog is not meant to provide advice. It's merely meant to celebrate words. I love words. I love how they can be put together to form a phrase that will bring tears to your eyes. I love how the coupling of two or three words can give you goose bumps or bring happiness where there was only sadness before.

A couple of years ago, I worked on a blog in which I unearthed an obsolete word and used it in my blog, and I think I will do so again. I'm hoping other will find it as entertaining to read as it is to write.

So, that's all for now. Until the next post!

  1. I am very excited to be part of this blog! I am always interested in new words! My lovely daughter, the English Major, has introduced me to so many great words but I have to say that my favorite of them all would have to be "misandry". Right as I was in the full throwes of my divorce a few years back, I was trying frantically to change my passwords to something that my ex would never figure out. Becky suggested misandry. I had never heard the word but I can tell you that it has become a part of my daily life. What does misandry mean? Aptly enough, it means "hatred of men". Way to go, Becky!
