Apparently
Blog followers would have me believe
They like neither poetry
nor shenanigans.
If you be a lover of these
(and, seriously, who doesn't love shenanigans)
Leave a comment below
with a word you adore.

ok I really love the word dupa. Its polish for bum. And my dad used to always say it. Especially if I was in trouble. As in, "Margaret Ann! Get your dupa down here!" :)
ReplyDeleteOh and it's Margaret Anne...hello me!! WTF?
ReplyDeleteOk so I learned a ridiculous amount of new words studying for the gre so this is really hard to pick one. But for some reason I like the word quagmire- a situation that is difficult to get out of- something about the way it rolls of the tongue when you say "what a quagmire we got ourselves into."
ReplyDeleteAlso- when I left your house this summer on the way to the highway it began to POUR so judy and i pulled off the road at a sheetz and naturally pulled the gre flashcards out, I learned the word epicure (one devoted to sensual pleasure) so I can't say thats my favorite word, I will always think of the wake forest sheetz whenever I hear it!
These are from my friend Ann who is comment-challenged, so she just sent me an email:
ReplyDeleteSo Gary and I contribute: plethora. Gives you something to go with dupa (DUE-puh).
Claire contributes: examination (as in "room" - where you see the Dr.)
Genevieve contributes: poppyseed
Anna's picks:
ReplyDeleteEnglish: Ballyhoo!!! (goes with shenanigans)
German: schwanger (pregnant)
Point of interest: "My sister in law is pregnant" translates to "Meine Schwiegerschwester ist schwanger." I was actually able to teach this at one point because you were, in fact, expecting Isabelle. Once in a lifetime opportunity for me.
Sorry I wrote so much. You asked for one word.
What a multi-lingual list we have going here. Going to be some interesting poetry.
ReplyDeleteI see a schwanger dupa in the near future.
