On Wordy Wednesdays I shall post a random word that I like for whatever reason, and then I shall ramble on like I usually do.
In fact, today, since it's the first ever Wordy Wednesday, I shall post two words! And now, without further ado, here they are!
hirsute |ˈhərˌsoōt; hərˈsoōt; ˈhi(ə)rˌsoōt|adjectivehairy : their hirsute chests.
I liked this word because it came up when I was playing Cranium with my aunt and cousins, and I was really excited when I knew what it meant. I happened to know what it meant because I had looked it up in a thesaurus when in need of an adjective with which to insult someone. Insulting people with words they don't understand is always such fun.
gadabout |ˈgadəˌbout|nouna habitual pleasure-seeker.
This one I got by scrolling through my Mac Dictionary until I saw a word I liked the sound of. ^_^
And there we have it. Two lovely word for Wordy Wednesday.
In other news, I've deciphered the first eight bars of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. I'm quite proud of myself, since I have very minimal amounts of musical skill.
I am also trying very hard to find a job. Jobs are sorely lacking up here, especially for high school graduates with sketchy amounts of work experience. But I shall persist! Because I desperately, DESPERATELY want to run to the store and buy CATCHING FIRE, and I can't do that until I get some sort of pay check.
Anyway, that's all! Got any particularly enthralling words? Post 'em! :)
Ooh melikes Wordy Wednesday! There are certain quirky words that are so fun to know :)
ReplyDeleteNow I really want to find a way to include hirsute in my WIP. Hmm.
*squeals* CATCHING FIRE! *still hasn't read it* :/
