Although it doesn‘t appear in Webster‘s dictionary it popped up on more the one site when Googling. Seems appropriate in today‘s political arena. And I just like the sound of it.

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

AlaMich A theremin also featured in Severance in this last season. The actor learned to play for the role 1w

dabbe How effin cool is this? 🤩🎶🤩 1w

CBee @Bookwomble oh, I love Portishead. A theramin has such an eerie sound and them using it makes perfect sense 👏🏻 1w

The Island at the Center of the World | Russell Shorto

A day late (and a dollar short) for #weirdwordwednesday — but wanted to share anyway! I just finished the tagged book about the Dutch colony that first settled NYC. This section mentioned some of the Dutch words that were mutated into the English language and are still part of our lexicon 400 years later. As a word nerd, this type of stuff fascinates me!
@CBee

Ruthiella I nerd out on that kind of thing too! 😅 2w

BarbaraBB So funny to scroll and come upon words in my own language! Two very old fashioned and ordinary names in Dutch are Jan and Kees. That‘s what they called the Americans back in those days. Hence the American word Yankees! Just saying 😀 2w

Amiable @Ruthiella @BarbaraBB I love seeing how languages merge and intermingle! 2w

CBee @BarbaraBB I had NO idea!! How cool is that? 2w

CBee @Amiable thanks for sharing 😊 2w
