#WeirdWordsWednesday

I love Gaelic. And I‘d love to be part of a cèilidh - just the music would be worth it ♥️♥️ #weirdwords #weirdwordswednesday

Here‘s one for #weirdwordsWednesday. This comes from “The King of the Cats,” by Stephen Vincent Benet.
Pizen-sure… here‘s the thing about this one. I can‘t find it online written like this. It must be an alternate spelling of poison-sure, but there‘s not much about that either. I guess the meaning can be inferred, but it‘s an interesting expression. It gives me saloon in a western vibes. Has anyone seen this written elsewhere?

Is anyone else excited anytime they read another description for the wind besides whispering which is so painfully overused it‘s almost its own cliche?

#WeirdWordsWednesday This picture is the cover of a book I haven‘t read. It‘s actually the second book in a trilogy that I haven‘t read. But I really like the covers and the books sound interesting.

I don‘t have the book yet but I thought it would be fun to share the cover for #WeirdWordsWednesday.

Really nerding out for this #weirdwordsWednesday. While doing my Greek homework this morning I came across the word τσιπούρα. Having been to a Greek distillery before, I thought this was the word for what some people know as “raki,” an anise-flavored alcoholic beverage (which is apparently the national drink of Turkey!). The problem was it was on a list of things you can buy from a fisherman. (See comments for more explanation.)⬇️

Did you guys know that this delicate, introspective poet who writes mostly about cultivating joy and gardening got his start in college basketball, thought about going the pro sports route, and wrote his 7th book entirely as an ode to Julius Erving?

I love this word and never knew this was what it meant! I also love looking at old advertisements - makes me nostalgic for when things were (maybe) simpler? Not that I‘m old enough to have played with a zoetrope…..but I digress. Enjoy 😂🤪 #weirdwords #weirdwordswednesday

Your science lesson for today 😊😊 Learned a lot researching this one but here‘s the Wiki to start: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelagic_zone
