Word of the day
Word of the day Today's word is ROWEL. Rowel [ROWL] verb 1: to goad with or as if with a pointed disk at the end of a spur 2: vex, trouble Example: He finally caught up with her and the wild beast she called Storm but when he did she laughed wildly and then roweled the stallion and it drove him into a full run again leaving him frustrated and in her dust. Did you know? If you've seen Western movies, you've seen rowels. The noun "rowel" names the circular, point-covered disk on the end of a spur that is used to urge powerful steeds to maximum speeds. But cowboys didn't invent rowels; knights in shining armor were sporting them even before the 12th century. English speakers of yore picked up the noun "rowel" from the Anglo-French "roele," meaning "small wheel." By the end of the 1500s, "rowel" was also being used as a verb for any process of prodding or goading that was as irritating as being poked in the side with a rowel. Same shit different day...thats what its felt like around here. I don't see it slowing down at work anytime soon and I wish that the roller girls would figure things out so I know if I'm gonna have to pay for boot camp or if they're going to cancel it. I also have to pay out a bit of change for a class at bible group...totally got blindsided by that one. Hope I can find the money for both in time cuz I'd like to do both. Hope y'all had a great weekend. |
