Welcome to Litsy!

I came across this one today. It comes from 'elegy'. Another definition calls it wistfully mournful, which I liked
The book I read it in was describing a poem in which "she sees the woman she‘s in love with sitting next to a man, and admires his composure. Because she knows if she were the one sitting next to the woman, she would be at a loss for words."
I've been reading a lot more poetry this month so I appreciate this new word

I may have to have this beer tonight! 🤣

Stumbled upon this word in my last read - The Devil and Mrs. Davenport (great book). I didn‘t know there was a specific word for speaking in tongues, but I mean, apparently there is a word for everything 😂🙌🏻 #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

Nope, it‘s not a type of multivitamin 😂 Just a super cool musical instrument that is apparently quite hard to master. Links: https://youtu.be/-QgTF8p-284?si=yBQCF2IBXR-Z3Tq6

FRIENDS!! Posting late but I didn‘t want anyone to miss out on the absolute cuteness that is the pygmy marmoset! Sometimes I veer off course with the “weird” part, because cute animals 😂 Here‘s an article about them: https://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/pygmy-marmoset #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

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. 😅

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

It‘s starting to get warm enough for walking along the river path! ☀️

Today‘s gray weather was perfect for staying inside, curled up with a book and the last of my brownie batch.
