For today‘s #weirdwordswednesday I wanted to share the phrase “superfluous glowshoes.” Thoreau is writing here about the futility of keeping more things than needed around one‘s house. I was simultaneously delighted and puzzled by this phrase, and glad for a footnote which clarifies that Thoreau meant galoshes. But come on! Who doesn‘t want a pair of superfluous glowshoes? What a delightful phrase! #weirdwords @CBee
