Today's word is SODDEN.
Sodden [SAH-dun] adjective
1a: dull or expressionless especially from continued indulgence in alcoholic beverages
b: torpid, sluggish
2a: heavy with or as if with moisture or water
b: heavy or doughy because of imperfect cooking
Example:
After many hours of drinking wine and giggling the girls decided to make a cake. Their faces were sodden when the thing came out with a sodden center due to the fact they were too drunk to know what they were doing.
Did you know?
Nowadays, "seethed" is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "seethe" (which originally meant "to boil or stew"). Originally, however, "seethe" could also be conjugated in the past tense as "sod" and in the past participle as "sodden." By the 14th century, "sodden" had become an independent adjective synonymous with "boiled." And, by the 16th century, it had taken on the figurative sense used to describe someone who appears dull, expressionless, or stupid, particularly as a result of heavy drink. Today, "sodden" is commonly used as a synonym of "soaked" or "saturated." "Seethe" followed a different figurative path: while one who is sodden may appear dull, torpid, or sluggish, one who is "seething" is highly agitated, like a pot of boiling water.
At least I'm feeling a little better this evening. Hope y'all had a fabulous day.

Today's word is POLYGLOT.
Polyglot [PAH-lee-glaht] adjective
1a: speaking or writing several languages
b: composed of numerous linguistic groups
2: containing matter in several languages
3: composed of elements from different languages
4: widely diverse (as in ethnic or cultural origins)
Example:
When he said he was a very polyglot and began to profess his love to her in other languages she was horrified because she had thought he said polygamist and was not sure she wanted to share him with anyone else.
Did you know?
You've probably run across the prefix "poly-" before—it comes from Greek and means "many" or "multi-." But what about "glot"? That part of the word comes from the Greek term "glōtta," meaning "language" or "tongue." ("Glōtta" is also the source of "glottis," the word for the space between the vocal cords.) "Polyglot" itself entered English in the 17th century, both as an adjective and as a noun meaning "one who can write or speak several languages." You could call the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V a polyglot. He claimed that he addressed his only in German, he conversed with women in Italian and with men in French, but reserved Spanish for his talks with God.
Its been a super fucking long week!!! I am still told we have practice tomorrow so its not over yet lol. I might not work on Friday but am not sure yet if my Man is coming over...he's being a bit secretive about it. Hope y'all have had a fantastic day!

Today's word is ASSEVERATE.
Asseverate [us-SEV-uh-rayt] verb: to affirm or declare positively or earnestly
Example:
"I will myself asseverate and bind it by an oath, that the muff thou bearest in thy hand belongeth unto Madam Sophia; for I have frequently observed her, of later days, to bear it about her." — From Henry Fielding’s 1749 novel Tom Jones
Did you know?
Sharing writing advice in a 2001 article in the New York Times, the novelist Elmore Leonard wrote that he "had to stop reading to get the dictionary" when he encountered "she asseverated" instead of "she said" in a work by Mary McCarthy. We say with all seriousness that "asseverate" is a fancy word meaning "to assert or declare." It was formed in Latin from the prefix "ad-" ("to, toward") and the verb "severare," a relative of the adjective "severus," meaning "serious or severe." Nowadays "asseverate" is rare, used mostly, as Mr. Leonard found out, by those who like to show off their vocabularies.
Ok that example was off the website but damn it made me laugh! The image that popped into my head was this man standing there with his hands on some chicks twat with another man saying that he's frequently observed Madam Sophia and is sure that is her "muff"...bahahahaha!!! Ok so I like this word  It's late and I'm tired...didn't sleep well last night so I'm off to catch some zzzs. Hope y'all had a fantabulous Monday!

Today's word is FIMBRIATED.
Fimbriated [FIM-bree-ay-tud] adjective: having the edge or extremity bordered by slender processes: fringed
Example:
Her sighs turned to soft moans as his tongue found her pleasure pearl enfolded in the fimbriated folds of her wetness.
Did you know?
"Fimbriated" comes from Latin "fimbriatus," meaning "fringed." In English, "fimbriated" can function as a synonym of "fringed," and it is commonly used to describe anatomical features that are bordered by slender processes (prominent or projecting parts of an organism or organic structure). Latin "fimbriatus" is derived from "fimbria" ("fringe"). The plural of "fimbria," "fimbriae," gave rise to Vulgar Latin "frimbia" (notice the alteration of the spelling), which was then adopted by Anglo-French as "frenge." Middle English borrowed "frenge" in the 14th century, and it was this word that evolved into the modern English "fringe."
The images this word brings to mind just seem to be pretty and sensuous. I like it! I hope I used it correctly, if not please correct me Hope y'all had a great Friday and have a fabulous weekend

Today's word is MINION.
Minion [MIN-yun] noun
1: a servile dependent, follower, or underling
2: one highly favored: idol
3: a subordinate or petty official
Example:
Those little yellow Twinkie looking dudes from Despicable Me have gotten the whole world crazy about minions. I have to admit they're pretty fucking cute and I love them!
Did you know?
"Minion" comes to us from Middle French and has a somewhat surprising cousin in English: "filet mignon." The two words are connected by way of Middle French "mignon," meaning "darling." "Minion" entered English around 1500 directly from Middle French, whereas "filet mignon" arrived significantly later by way of a Modern French phrase meaning "dainty fillet." The earliest uses of "minion" referred to someone who was a particular favorite, or darling, of a sovereign or other important personage. Over time, however, the word evolved a more derogatory sense referring to a person who is servile and unimportant.
Hope y'all have been good and if not that you were so bad that you were unforgettable lol! I was not well for a while then went on my trip to Sitka to hang out with one of the most amazing lovers I think I have ever had the pleasure of being with...not including my Man of course, he is just beyond words and no comparison to any others My life was forever changed when I met this man...he is fucking amazing! I had a great time on my sexcation I'm calling it and am a bit sad I didn't get to see much of Sitka. It was a bit cloudy and rainy the whole time I was there. Oh well, hopefully he will be coming to see me sometime in the future if my Man says its ok. Hope y'all had a fabulous day

Today's word is VALETUDINARIAN.
Valetudinarian [val-uh-too-duh-NAIR-ee-un] noun: a person of weak or sickly constitution; especially : one whose chief concern is his or her ill health
Example:
A valetudinarian brings on their own illness by thinking negative thoughts and saying things that attract illness to them. They need to change the way they think and think and believe they are healthy and free of any illnesses.
Did you know?
Oddly enough, "valetudinarian," a word for someone who is sickly (or at least thinks he or she is) comes from "valēre," a Latin word that means "to be strong" or "to be well." Most of the English offspring of "valēre" imply having some kind of strength or force—consider, for instance, "valiant," "prevail," "valor," and "value." But the Latin "valēre" also gave rise to "valetudo." In Latin, "valetudo" refers to one's state of health (whether good or bad), but by the time that root had given rise to "valetudinarian" in the early 1700s, English-speaking pessimists had given it a decidedly sickly spin.
Wow I think I'm feeling a bit better tonight. My head has been pounding hard for the last couple days and I think it might be finally gone...yay! Hope y'all had a great hump day

Today's word is ITINERANT.
Itinerant [eye-TIN-uh-runt] adjective: traveling from place to place; especially : covering a circuit
Example:
After years of being a multi-state salesmen he had lined up on his itinerant travels, but his favorite was the fiery red head because she was wild and kinky and he liked that.
Did you know?
In Latin, "iter" means "way" or "journey." That root was the parent of the Late Latin verb "itinerari," meaning "to journey." It was that verb which ultimately gave rise to today's English word for traveling types: "itinerant." The linguistic grandsire, "iter," also contributed to the development of other words in our vocabulary, including "itinerary" ("the route of a journey" and "the plan made for a journey") and "errant" ("traveling or given to traveling").
So its been a wild few days. Work is still so busy it sucks ass but I got up early yesterday and joined a few friends for a nice walk around the lake. I actually went a bit early to get a quick walk in alone to get my heart rate up since I knew I wouldn't walking with the group. Then I ended up not feeling good again the rest of day and night but I did go have lunch with my little girl...that was super nice! Today I went to church and bailed early to get home and grab my gear for derby practice. I still am not feeling that great but practice was good. I'm getting better all the time and today...I got a trophy! I got a nice bruise on my arm from being knocked down by another skater! She sorta ran into me and our skates got a bit tangled and I fell and she managed to catch herself so she didn't but my arm ended up hitting her skate somehow and it hurt but fuck its pretty now  lol. A little sore but not much. I also remembered to fall on my hip and side instead of my ass which I'm rather proud of! Anyway its been a super long last week with not feeling good off and on so I'm headed for bed. I hope y'all had a great weekend

Today's word is SHINDIG.
Shindig [SHIN-dig] noun:
1a: a social gathering with dancing
b: a usually large or lavish party
2: fracas, uproar
Example:
The shindig I had planned has now been put on hold until the government decides they can play nice and get along.
Did you know?
At a glance, "shindig" appears to combine "shin" and "dig," and thus might seem to suggest a painful kick to the leg—especially when you know that one of the first senses of "shindig" in English refers to a gathering at which people dance. It is more likely, however, that "shindig" is an alteration of "shindy," which is itself the alteration of another word, "shinny," used of a variation of hockey played with a curved stick and a ball or block of wood. It's not entirely clear how the game of "shinny" gave "shindy" its first meaning (the "social gathering with dancing" meaning that is also the original meaning of "shindig"), but "shinny" remains the most likely origin.
The United States government sucks ass...that is all.

Today's word is MALAPERT.
Malapert [mal-uh-PERT] adjective: impudently bold: saucy
Example:
Usually she was quiet and reserved but he was just to much to resist and she felt herself drawn to him from across the room and when she walked up to him she could barely believe the malapert query that came out of her own mouth, "would you like to come home with me?" she inquired.
Did you know?
"Malapert" debuted in English in the 14th century, was a favorite of Shakespeare, and is still used sporadically today. The prefix "mal-," meaning "bad" or "badly" and deriving from the Latin "malus," is found in many English words, including "malevolent" and "malefactor." The second half of "malapert" comes from the Middle English "apert," meaning "open" or "frank." "Apert" further derives from the Latin word"apertus" ("open"), which gave us our noun "aperture" (meaning "an opening"). Putting the two halves together gives us a word that describes someone or something that is open or honest in a bad way—that is, a way that is bold or rude. The noun "malapert" also exists, and means "a bold or impudent person."
Ya know some nights I just can't find the energy, either physically or mentally to post. I apologize. But I'm still here and still giving y'all some freakin awesome words to learn I like this word btw! Practice was tough tonight. Its so awesome to see some new faces. We even may have a new fresh meat ref! Never mind that about 8 years ago I was trying to fuck him lol. He's now married to a pretty cool chick and has some beautiful little girls. Still has a killer smile though. And it should not be legal to smell that good at practice dude! K it's definitely bed time so I hope y'all have a fantastic Tuesday...g'night!

Today's word is FOMITE.
Fomite [FOH-myte] noun: an object (as a dish or an article of clothing) that may be contaminated with infectious organisms and serve in their transmission
Example:
Every mother knows in the cold and flu season months that the long sleeve of a shirt or sweatshirt is nasty and will be now known as the fomite of the shirt. You will know the difference because a fomite sleeve will have a yellow or green film covering it.
Did you know?
"Disinfectant on your hands keeps us healthier and fomites no longer foment as much disease." Australian newspaper contributor Peter Goers was likely going for alliteration when he paired up "fomite" and "foment," a verb meaning "to promote the growth or development of"—but, whether he realized it or not, the words "fomite" and "foment" are also related. "Fomite" is a back-formation of "fomites," the Latin plural of "fomes," itself a word for tinder. (Much like tinder is a catalyst of fire, a fomite can kindle disease.) "Fomes" is akin to the Latin verb "fovēre" ("to heat"), an ancestor of "foment."
Hahaha I really don't care if I didn't use the word correctly cuz that example was good! Hope y'all had a fantastic hump day. It's my Thursday cuz my man is coming to visit this weekend. So that means tomorrow is my Friday...bring on the fucking weekend...literally

Today's word is ETIOLATE.
Etiolate [EE-tee-uh-layt] verb
a: to make pale
b: to deprive of natural vigor: make feeble
Example:
If you etiolate your grapes they will not grown and you will have nothing to make wine with.
Did you know?
We first started using "etiolate" in the late 1700s (borrowed from the French verb "étioler") in reference to purposely depriving growing celery of light. The word traces back to an Old French word for "straw" and is related to the Latin word for "straw" or "stalk," which is "stipula." Nowadays the term for growing veggies as pale as straw is more likely to be "blanch," which can mean "to bleach (the leaves or stalks of plants) by excluding light," among other things. "Etiolate" is more apt to refer to depriving plants in a way that is undesirable; when "etiolated," they are sickly, pale, and spindly. The figurative sense of "etiolate" ("to make pallid or feeble") appeared in the 1800s as a natural outgrowth of the original sense.
So I had my first 3 hour practice today. Holy fuck I was done after 2 hours but stuck it out and pushed through to the end! I personally am starting to see an improvement in my skating and my comfort level and abilities. I still will not be able to pass the first assessment by November but I'll be closer to passing it than I was before! I'm off to get some sleep since its been a super long day. I hope y'all had a great weekend and a fabulous Sunday

Today's word is AGONISTIC.
Agonistic [ag-uh-NISS-tik] adjective
1: argumentative
2: striving for effect: strained
3: of, relating to, or being aggressive or defensive social interaction (as fighting, fleeing, or submitting) between individuals usually of the same species
Example:
"The fulsome praise in the old, residually oral, rhetoric tradition strikes persons from a high-literacy culture as insincere, flatulent, and comically pretentious. But praise goes with the highly polarized, agonistic, oral world of good and evil, virtue and vice, villains and heroes." — From Walter J. Ong's 1982 book Orality and Literacy
Did you know?
"Agonistic" has its roots in ancient Greece—specifically in the agonistic (to use the oldest sense of the word) athletic contests called "agons" featured at public festivals. From physical conflict to verbal jousting, "agonistic" came to be used as a synonym for "argumentative" and later to mean "striving for effect" or "strained." Common current use, however, is biological, relating to confrontational interaction among animals of the same species and the responsive behaviors—such as aggression, flight, or submission—they exhibit. "Agonistic" is also sometimes used to describe an agonist muscle, a muscle that on contracting is automatically checked and controlled by an opposing muscle, that other muscle being an "antagonist." For example, during a bicep curl in weight lifting, the (contracted) bicep is the agonistic muscle and the (relaxed) triceps muscle is the antagonist.
What an interesting word! I loved the exert they used as the example so I used it too. I have always wondered what it might be like to be a word connoisseur and just spew beautiful words out and have people be like WTF? Hahaha no seriously though I would love to be eloquent and speak with ease and grace. No I don't but would be nice Hope y'all had a fabulous day.

Today's word is BROWN STUDY.
Brown study [BROWN-STUD-ee] noun: a state of serious absorption or abstraction
Example:
Some of the best poems come from the times I lose myself in a brown study freeing my mind and spirit to flow with the rest of the universe.
Did you know?
"Lack of company will soon lead a man into a brown study." Whether or not it's true, that 1532 admonition is the first known example that shows the "reverie" sense of "study" combined with "brown" (in the old and now rare sense of "gloomy"). Today, not all brown studies are "gloomy"—some are merely abstracted—but not, we hope, to the extent that provoked the editors of an encyclopedia of the 1950s to call it "a state nearly related to hypnosis and characterized by the ... arrest of bodily movement."
Another LONG day, practice seriously kicked my ass tonight. But again I'm getting better, slowly but still getting better! I hope y'all had an amazing thirsty Thursday
