AmyG I love all monkeys! 🐒 2w

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) 2w

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 🫠 3w

Not really weird but it‘s an opportunity to brag on my oldest kiddo (he will always be a kiddo for me despite being almost 13 😱). He was watching a play through of a favorite video game and mentioned how one villain shows up at the start, but you don‘t actually fight the villain until the end. He said “and that‘s an example of foreshadowing.” LORD I love this kid. #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

If you, like me, are having a rough time right now, *gestures vaguely at everything* I cannot recommend enough doing things together as a community.

A neighborhood clean up, volunteering at your local library, joining a new book club. Be with people. ❤️ Yes, even us introverts.

#WeirdWordWednesday #WeirdWords @CBee

Amiable Holy cow, I literally noticed this word in a book about an hour ago! It's like you were looking over my shoulder. In my bedroom. While I was reading in bed. Which would totally be weird. 😄 2mo

CatLass007 Everything is always related to cats. The world revolves around cats. So of course even if the definition doesn‘t mention cats, it‘s still about cats.🐱 @Amiable That‘s serendipitous! And weird. 2mo

Better late than never, friends! I‘ve been on a Bob Dylan kick lately and the term and lyrics (my favorites in the song) above are from one of my favorite songs of his: Visions of Johanna. Anyone ever play blind man‘s bluff as a kid? #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

CBee @CatLass007 I‘ve missed you too! It‘s been a rough start to the new year but it‘s starting to look up 🤞🏻 2mo

Cuilin Yes. It was a staple child‘s birthday party game, along with Pass the Parcel in Ireland in the 70‘s. 2mo

TheSpineView I played! That does bring back memories. 2mo

CBee @BookmarkTavern thank you! I‘ve missed you guys. 2mo

CBee @Cuilin tell me about Pass the Parcel! That‘s a new one. 2mo

dabbe So glad to see you, m'dear! I've never played blind-man's bluff, but I have read about it. 🩶🖤🩶 2mo

Cuilin Pass the parcel, the host has a gift wrapped with many layers of paper. The game starts with everyone seated in a circle. Music is played, the gift is passed around. When the music stops whoever is holding the parcel unwraps a layer, this continues with the music starting and stopping and layers being removed until the last player to remove the last piece of paper gets to keep the gift. 🎁 2mo

Cuilin @TheSpineView Musical Chairs, Blind Man‘s Bluff and Pass the Parcel bring back so many happy memories. 2mo

CatLass007 @Cuilin That sounds interesting. I have been at holiday parties with other adults when a game of “Chinese” Christmas party is played. Everyone brings a gift, maybe gag gifts or maybe the same type of gifts, say mugs. This doesn‘t work well with large groups because it takes a while. Everyone puts their anonymous gifts on a table or under a tree. Each person is assigned a number or maybe it just goes around the circle. The first person (cont)⬇️ 2mo

CatLass007 chooses and opens a package. The next person has the option of taking the gift from the first person or choosing a wrapped gift. It‘s fun but occasionally can be frustrating. 2mo

CatLass007 I guess the closest I‘ve ever come to playing blind-man‘s bluff is playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey. 2mo

CBee @Cuilin that sounds like so much fun! I always loved musical chairs too. 2mo

dabbe @Suet624 Deep down, I believe you're right. I can't even summon the wherewithal to even look forward to 2025. All I do is tremble. 4mo

Amiable @Suet624 I used to be a daily news consumer. I read WaPo, NYT, the Atlantic, local news sites, etc. Since 11/6, I can't do it. My eyes skip over anything that at a glance appears political in nature. My brain has disengaged. Where I would once get inspired or irritated into action, I now find myself shrugging and saying, “oh well. That's what they voted for. Not my concern.“ Even though it most definitely is going to be my/our problem(s). 4mo

Suet624 @Amiable I‘m doing the same thing. 4mo

Suet624 @dabbe it‘s just a dangerous clown show coming up. It‘s the ticking time bomb. I tremble too. 4mo

dabbe @Suet624 @Amiable Same here. Matt and I do our NYT puzzles in the morning and when we skim the news, ANYTHING that has “He who shall not be named“ on a headline, is avoided like the plague. And my faith in the majority of the people in the US has gone kaput--draining right down the proverbial swamp. 4mo

CatLass007 My Mom was a weather geek. She even took some meteorology classes in college. Growing up she would listen to the weather reports of three different radio stations just to make sure that we‘d know what outerwear to put on when we left for school. When the Weather Channel was launched she was in hog heaven. But I‘m pretty sure she never heard this particular term because she would have used it often and well. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. 6mo

CBee @CatLass007 oh, that‘s such a lovely story! I‘m happy that my word choice helped you remember good memories of your mom ♥️♥️ 6mo

Jesus Christ on toast, faces in clouds, the list goes on and on! And of course, thanks to Bones (still binging and loving), I now know there is a word for this phenomenon 🤓 #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

Deblovestoread Ooooh I love this word! 6mo

Daisey I discovered this word recently as well, and I love it! 6mo

Amiable Ha ha, I read your comment and thought “Jesus Christ on toast” was maybe one of those phrases that Southern folks use instead of swearing. 😄 6mo

TheSpineView Cool word 😎 6mo

CBee @Amiable it very well could be and I might just start using it now 😂😂 I tend to make up my own anyway 🤓 6mo

CatLass007 Great word! 6mo

Cuilin @Amiable I thought that too because in Ireland, we say Christ on a bike!!!! 😆 6mo

BookmarkTavern Like finding shapes in clouds! How cool! 6mo

TheBookHippie Oh!!! Also my BFF is from Ireland and says Christ on a bike often so I read it as that 🤣😂😅🤪 @Cuilin 6mo

Amiable @Cuilin That‘s so funny because my grandfather used to say “Jesus Christ on a bicycle” and his parents were from Ireland!! I had no idea it was an Irish thing! 😄 6mo

dabbe 🤩🤩🤩 6mo

CBee @BookmarkTavern yes! 😊 6mo

CBee @TheBookHippie @Cuilin @Amiable it‘s related to the pareidolia of Jesus‘s face on a piece of toast. On the show (Bones) it was WAY grosser 🫢 😬 I did just read “Jesus toast” when I looked for the example and now I‘m 😂😂 (edited) 6mo

TheBookHippie @CBee 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 6mo

Amiable @CBee @cuilin This reminds me of the time one morning years ago when I came downstairs to find a baggie on the kitchen counter with a peanut inside and a note from my youngest son that said, “Do not eat this. It looks like Elvis.” 😄 (edited) 6mo

CBee @Amiable omg 😂😂😂😂 That‘s amazing - sounds like something my 12 year old would do! 6mo

Cuilin @Amiable hilarious 🤣 6mo

Amiable @CBee @Cuilin Yeah, we still joke about the Elvis nut. 😄 And it kickstarted the conversation—why is it that we only ever see Jesus or Elvis or Mary Magdalene in toast or on trees? Why doesn‘t anyone see … I don‘t know, Fonzie? Or Alex Trebek? It‘s weird. 😀 (edited) 6mo

CBee @Amiable I love that it started that conversation. Equality in pareidolia 😂😂 6mo

Suet624 Off topic, but I‘ve never watched Bones. Your thoughts on the show? 6mo

CBee @Suet624 oh my gosh, it‘s so good. It can be a bit much if you‘re squeamish, but the banter between the main characters is the BEST. It‘s very nerdy, very science-y. The main character is a forensic anthropologist and is based on real life author Kathy Reichs. Highly recommend it 🦴 😊 6mo

Suet624 Okay, on the second episode of season one now. 🙂 6mo

CBee @Suet624 ooo! What do you think so far? 6mo

Suet624 Very small sample size. Give me another couple of episodes. But so far so good. 6mo

Suet624 How far into it are you? 6mo

CBee @Suet624 I‘m on season 5! There are a LOT of seasons 😂🤪 6mo

Suet624 I noticed! That‘s a good thing when they‘re enjoyable though. 6mo

CBee @Suet624 I‘m still really loving it 😊 6mo

CatLass007 I‘m sure I‘ve read this word before but I‘m not sure when or where. It‘s another cool word and definition. Thanks for sharing these every week.❤️ 6mo

TheSpineView Another great word!! 6mo

IndoorDame One of my all time favorite words 💜 6mo

See All 21 Comments

CBee @CatLass007 you‘re welcome! I‘ve come across some really cool ones lately 😊 6mo

CBee @IndoorDame yay! It‘s a fantastic word 😊 6mo

slategreyskies @CatLass007 the first time I came across this word was in A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. Ashmole 782 was a palimpsest. So, if you‘ve read that book, that could be where you‘re remembering this word from. 6mo

CatLass007 @slategreyskies I haven‘t read it yet, although I do own it. I may never remember exactly where I first read the word, but it‘s not really a big deal. I have a tendency, especially listening to audiobooks, when I encounter a new word to just infer the definition from the manner in which the word is used rather than take the time to look up the actual definition. I‘m so glad @CBee does the work for me, although I am getting better at it. 6mo

BookmarkTavern Oh this is one of my favorite words! 💕💕💕💕 6mo

peanutnine I love this word! It always gives me a feeling of nostalgia 💖 6mo

dabbe Oh, no! I\'m off the list! Can I jump back on? 😅 6mo

CBee @dabbe I‘m just having a chance to check Litsy and realized I forgot to tag you - that was just a total goof on my part! Sorry!! 6mo

CBee @CatLass007 ♥️♥️♥️ 6mo

dabbe @CBee No worries; I just wanted to make sure I was still in the loop! 🧡🍁🧡 6mo

CBee @dabbe you‘re definitely still in the loop! ♥️ 6mo

mandarchy Speaking of being in the loop, but off topic: I stopped getting notifications from Litsy and I've tried everything except deleting it and reinstalling it. Getting it on this phone was such a chore, I'm not sure I'm willing to go that far. But have any of you seen a convo about this anywhere? 6mo

CBee @mandarchy do you have an Android or iPhone? A friend who has an Android has had issues similar to yours. I‘d suggest submitting a help ticket as I know you aren‘t the only one! 6mo

mandarchy Android. Thanks! I've been ignoring it and maybe a help ticket will be the thing. 6mo

CBee @mandarchy hopefully they can figure it out! 6mo

mandarchy @CBee I just opened Litsy and I had 204 notifications! None of them made my phone ding. I've never seen so many! It's weird 6mo

CBee @mandarchy that‘s crazy!! Did you send a help request? 6mo

mandarchy I did, I got the 204 notifications and then nothing else. I just need to check in more often. 6mo

ChaoticMissAdventures I am now trying to figure out how and why people pronounce this word with an e &/o g... I keep saying acorn and I don't have any of that 😂 7mo

IndoorDame Neat! I definitely say some of them wrong too. But hysterical that eggcorn is apparently the most common one and I‘ve never heard anyone say it 😂 (edited) 7mo

CBee @IndoorDame me either! Totally new to me. @ChaoticMissAdventures I don‘t hear it either, no idea where that came from 😂😂🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ 7mo

BkClubCare @ChaoticMissAdventures - me, too. I don‘t think I‘ve ever heard anyone say eggcorn. 🤔 7mo

monkeygirlsmama I have NEVER heard of this term before. 🤣 And I've NEVER heard anyone pronounce A-CORN as EGG-CORN. 🤔😝 7mo

TheSpineView That was fun! "Champ at the bit" tripped me up. 7mo

thebacklistbook Hahaha! This often leads to popular misspellings being adopted into dictionaries. Like how chique was already adopted into english with its original French spelling then someone decided it needed to be spelled chic at some point. I've heard many people say the French spelling as sheekwa rather than sheek. 7mo

thebacklistbook Also have seen some with dictaphone software taken down by this. The algorithm feeds it's best guess for what it "heard". 7mo

CBee @monkeygirlsmama it‘s baffling 😂 7mo

CBee @TheSpineView I always thought it was “jerry-rigged” but it‘s “jury-rigged!” 7mo

CBee @thebacklistbook so interesting!! 7mo

Deblovestoread Fun! I know it‘s “duct” but I still say “duck”. And I do always ask for ice tea. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 7mo

CBee @Deblovestoread I do too 😂😂 Here in the south we don‘t even say iced tea, we just say sweet or unsweetened because iced tea is just a given 😂 7mo

BookmarkTavern That‘s so cool! I didn‘t know that! 7mo

dabbe @CBee Same here! I'm in 😱! 7mo

thebacklistbook @Deblovestoread there is a brand of duct tape called Duck tape they also make painters tape, etc. 7mo

TheBookHippie @CBee I always remembered it as most jury‘s are rigged so 🤪😅😱🥴😂 7mo

TheBookHippie @Deblovestoread I say ice and duck too 😂😂😂 7mo

Daisey That was a fun and interesting quiz. Thanks for sharing! 7mo

CBee @TheBookHippie I see it now 😂 But I could‘ve sworn it was “jerry” 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Aaaand I‘ve always said “for all intensive purposes” and that‘s wrong! 7mo

CBee @Daisey you‘re welcome! 7mo

mandarchy It's more complicated than you think. If you like words you might like this YouTuber. He does a whole episode about eggcorns. https://youtu.be/Sucad437VDA?si=X-B31qnBkVaZtIr5 7mo

These words have absolutely nothing in common except, they‘re weird 😂 Plus, apparently “emunction” is now obsolete (despite describing my behavior today due to allergies 🤧).

Found this as I was scrolling through The Oatmeal's website. Another fun one to say out loud ... for obvious reasons. 😀

AmyG My father-in-law had this. Insufferable 🤣 7mo

Seabreeze_Reader Reminds me of Anne (of Green Gables) although I 💙 her character. 7mo

kelli7990 Another ex boyfriend of mine had this problem. I‘m so quiet but he was so talkative. He was always blowing my phone up wanting to talk to me and then at the day program, he always came in talking really loud early in the morning. I felt embarrassed to be seen with him in public when we went on dates because sometimes, he talked too loud. I only dated him for 3 months and then I broke up with him because I didn‘t want to deal with him anymore. 7mo
