Today's word is INCIPIENT.
Incipient [in-SIP-ee-unt] adjective: beginning to come into being or to become apparent
Example:
The first storm of the fall season is still in its incipient stages but will be full on by tomorrow afternoon bringing with it a butt ton of rain and gusts of wind 60+ mph according to the weather warnings.
Did you know?
A good starting point for any investigation of "incipient" is the Latin verb "incipere," which means "to begin." "Incipient" first emerged in English in a 1669 scientific text that referred to "incipient putrefaction." Later came the genesis of two related nouns, "incipiency" and "incipience," both of which are synonymous with "beginning." "Incipere" also stands at the beginning of the words "inception" ("an act, process, or instance of beginning") and "incipit," a term that literally means "it begins" and which was used for the opening words of a medieval text. "Incipere" itself derives from another Latin verb, "capere," which means "to take" or "to seize."
Hope y'all had a fanfreakintastic hump day

Today's word is DURESS.
Duress [dur-RESS] noun
1: forcible restraint or restriction
2: compulsion by threat; specifically : unlawful constraint
Example:
A dominant may make a slave do things under mild duress but never force them to do things against their will, bdsm is consensual and if its not its abuse and you should get out as quickly as possible.
Did you know?
"Duress" is a word of hardy stock. It has been a part of the English language since the 14th century, and has a number of long-lived relatives. "Duress" itself came into Middle English through the Anglo-French "duresce" (meaning "hardness" or "severity"), which stems from Latin "durus," meaning "hard." Some obvious relatives of this robust root are "durable," "endure" and "obdurate" (meaning "unyielding" or "hardened in feelings"). Some others are "dour" (meaning "harsh," "unyielding," or "gloomy") and "during."

Today's word is DRUB.
Drub [DRUB] verb
1: to beat severely
2: to berate critically
3: to defeat decisively
Example:
I hope our team doesn't get drubbed by the other roller derby team in town on our first bout!
Did you know?
Sportswriters often use "drub," but the term's history reveals that it wasn't always a sporting word. When "drub" was first used in English, it referred to a method of punishment that involved beating the soles of a culprit's feet with a stick or cudgel. The term was apparently brought to England in the 17th century by travelers who reported observing the punitive practice in Asia. Etymologists are uncertain of the ultimate origin of "drub," but some have speculated that it may have evolved from the Arabic word "ḍaraba," meaning "to beat."
Super long day and I'm headed for bed. Hope y'all had a great day

Today's word is FLAIR.
Flair [FLAIR] noun
1: a skill or instinctive ability to appreciate or make good use of something: talent; also : inclination, tendency
2: a uniquely attractive quality: style
Example:
He had a flair with the whip and when he cracked it near her left breast it sent a shudder through her body and the electricity it shot to her pussy made her want to feel it on her skin.
Did you know?
In the 14th century, if someone told you that you had "flair" (or "flayre" as it was then commonly spelled), you might very well take offense! This is because in Middle English "flayre" meant "an odor." The word derived from the Old French verb "flairer" ("to give off an odor"), which came in turn from Late Latin "flagrare," itself an alteration of "fragrare." (The English words "fragrant" and "fragrance" also derive from "fragrare.") The "odor" sense of "flair" fell out of use, but in the 19th century English speakers once again borrowed "flair" from the French—this time (influenced by the Modern French use of the word for the sense of smell) to indicate a discriminating sense or instinctive discernment.
I'm a hurtin' unit tonight. My thighs are arguing with the rest of my legs and my back has just give up...practice kicked my ass. But...yes a but...I'm getting better and I know it! I can actually see and tell now! I'm getting move comfortable on my skates and doing new things almost every week but still working on them all cuz I still suck at them but I'm trying and doing it!

Today's word is JAPED.
Japed [JAYP] verb
1: to say or do something jokingly or mockingly
2: to make mocking fun of
Example:
Her boyfriend japed the male dancer as the left the club, but she knew he only did it because he was jealous of the dancer's moves and rhythm.
Did you know?
"Jape" mysteriously appeared in the English language during the 14th century and was adopted by literary folks, such as Geoffrey Chaucer, as a word meaning both "to trick" and "to jeer." It was also used, however, with the meanings "to seduce (someone)" or "to have sexual intercourse." This ambiguity forced writers to think twice about using "jape" in fear of misinterpretation. Ultimately, the word was avoided by respectable writers, and by the end of the 16th century it had fallen into disuse. But this four-letter word was not completely forgotten. It got its second chance when 19th-century writers began using its "jeer" meaning again—leaving its carnal meaning in oblivion.
Interesting word and etymology, or lack there of. Practice kicked my ass and my inner thighs are screaming! Its a good thing though and means I'm working hard to get shit down and doing it and skating better. Hope y'all had a fabulous tied up Tuesday

Today's word is NOCUOUS.
Nocuous [NAH-kyuh-wus] adjective: harmful
Example:
It wasn't until he got drunk that his nocuous behavior came around but she knew better and after it happened twice she hit the road leaving him in her dust.
Did you know?
You are probably more familiar with the adjective "innocuous," meaning "harmless," than with its antonymous relative "nocuous." Both "nocuous" and "innocuous" have immediate Latin predecessors: "nocuus" and "innocuus." (The latter combines "nocuus" with the negative prefix "in-.") Both words can also be traced back to the Latin verb "nocēre," meaning "to harm." Other "nocēre" descendants in English include "innocent" and "nocent" (which also means "harmful"). "Nuisance" (which originally meant, and still can mean, "a harm or injury") is a more distant relative. "Nocuous" is one of the less common "nocēre" descendants, but it does turn up occasionally.
Monday you suck ass! I hope you fall off the calender by next week and I never see you again! I hope y'all had a better day than I did.

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.

Today's word is DEPONE.
Depone [dih-POHN] verb: to assert under oath: testify
Example:
She was willing to stand up and depone to protect his honor as a gentlemen and a man of his word.
Did you know?
"I, Maureen Watt, depone aat I wull be leal and bear ae full alleadgance tae Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth," swore the newly-elected Member of the Scottish Parliament in the dialect of the North-East of Scotland. (Translation: "I swear that I will be loyal and bear full allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth.") "Depone," a word used in Scots law for "testify" since the 15th century, is perfectly at home in the oath. The word originated from Latin "deponere," meaning "to put down." The related English verb "depose," referring to testimony, entered the language through the same root the following century. Though used less frequently in American English than "depose," "depone" is no stranger to the American court system.
A word for my Man because he's a Scot! I do hope I used it correctly though... Anyway its been a super long week and it was only 4 days! Holy shit I'm so ready for beer-thirty on Friday  Not sure what my weekend holds but I'm sure it will be to short lol. Hope y'all had a great day!

Today's word is WOWSER.
Wowser [WOW-zer] noun: chiefly Australian an obtrusively puritanical person
Example:
"I'm no wowser, but I draw the line at abusive, foul-mouthed drunks." - From an article by Mike Smithson in the Sunday Mail (South Austrailia), July 2, 2006
Did you know?
"Wowser" is a word with an interesting background, though its ultimate origin is unknown. The word first appeared in print in 1899, in the Australian journal Truth, and was instantly popular in Australia. It spread to New Zealand, where it remains in use, and then eventually arrived in England, possibly brought by the Australian troops who served there during World War I. The American writer and editor H. L. Mencken liked "wowser" and attempted to introduce it to the United States. He used the word frequently in American Mercury, the literary magazine he edited. Despite Mencken’s efforts the term never truly caught on in American English, though it is used occasionally.
So a word basically from down under Cool! And haha I use it to show I guess amazement, as in wowser did you see that hot body! Anyway I had a great day. Went for a nice hike and for a fat girl I'm in pretty good shape. My legs didn't get sore and still feel fine but I will admit I was done by the time I got back to my truck lol. It was humid so I was sweating like a pig lol. Then my kiddo had gone fishing with his dad and brought home a fresh coho fillet and a couple small chunks of halibut so we had fresh fish for dinner tonight! Its been a long time since I've had halibut that fresh and man it was sooooo good! I might go up that trail again tomorrow since its a holiday and I don't have to work...we'll see. Hope y'all had a fabulous day!

Today's word is HOODWINK.
Hoodwink [HOOD-wink] verb: to deceive by false appearance: dupe
Example:
Once he started undressing her and exploring her with his mouth and hands he realized that she had hoodwinked him with her padded bra and that her breasts were much smaller than they had appeared.
Did you know?
A now-obsolete sense of the word "wink" is "to close one's eyes," and "hoodwink" once meant to cover the eyes of someone, such as a prisoner, with a hood or blindfold. ("Hoodwink" was also once a name for the game of blindman's buff.) This 16th-century term soon came to be used figuratively for veiling the truth. "The Public is easily hood-winked," wrote the Irish physician Charles Lucas in 1756, by which time the figurative use had been around for almost a century and a half. Over two hundred and fifty years later, this meaning of the word hasn't changed a wink.
Not a very productive day but then again it is Saturday. I have a headache and I'm not really feeling that great. My kiddo ordered pizza and I think I'm gonna go have a piece and a beer and watch a movie in my room. Hope y'all have a great night!

Today's word is EFFUSIVE.
Effusive [ih-FYOO-siv] adjective
1: marked by the expression of great or excessive emotion or enthusiasm 2 archaic : pouring freely
2: characterized or formed by a nonexplosive outpouring of lava
Example:
He was not a man of many words but he seemed to be a bit effusive when he said his vows when they got married, so much so she was weeping uncontrollably through the rest of the ceremony.
Did you know?
We've used "effusive" in English to describe excessive outpourings since the 17th century. In the 1800s, geologists adopted the specific sense related to flowing lava—or to hardened rock formed from flowing lava. "Effusive" can be traced to the Latin verb "effundere" ("to pour out"), which itself comes from "fundere" ("to pour") plus a modification of the prefix "ex-" ("out"). Our verb "effuse" has the same Latin ancestors. A person effuses when he or she speaks effusively. Liquids can effuse as well (as in "water effusing from a pipe").
Wow its been a super long week! I got news the other day that my Man will not make it over next weekend and won't be back until the end of September. I sure miss him when he's not here with me! Oh well I do try to keep myself busy. I haven't been doing well at practice lately but apparently thats all perspective cuz one of the jammers who has really been buddying up with me told me tonight that I'm doing amazing and she can see the confidence building. Well apparently thats just what I needed tonight cuz I fuckin rocked it tonight! I'm getting a bit more brave and doing some more stuff and practiced a lot tonight as we were skating just keeping my knees bent just slightly and not looking down at my feet or the floor directly in front of me. Anyway lol my back is killing me and its late and I'm so freakin tired. I hope y'all had a fabulous Thirsty Thursday. Bring on Friday and a long weekend!!!

Today's word is SINUOUS.
Sinuous [SIN-yuh-wus] adjective
1a: of a serpentine or wavy form: winding
b: marked by strong lithe movements
2: intricate, complex
Example:
She moaned softly as his hands followed the sinuous curves of her hips up to her breasts where his lips found each one waiting pertly for his lips and tongue to tease and taste them.
Did you know?
Although it probably makes you think more of snakes than head colds, "sinuous" is etymologically more like "sinus" than "serpent." "Sinuous" and "sinus" both derive from the Latin noun "sinus," which means "curve, fold, or hollow." Other "sinus" descendents include "insinuate" ("to impart or suggest in an artful or indirect way") and two terms you might remember from math class: "sine" and "cosine." In English, "sinus" is the oldest of these words; it entered the language in the 1400s. "Insinuate" appeared next, in 1529, and was followed by "sinuous" (157 , "sine" (1593), and "cosine" (1635). "Serpent," by the way, entered English in the 13th century and comes from the Latin verb "serpere," meaning "to creep."
Love this word! Ok so I think the interview went well. Now I get to wait for a few days and if I'm offered the job I will start talking to the HR manager and hiring manager to negotiate a salary that is not to much below what I'm making now. They will do it if they want me bad enough is the way I see it. Sucked at practice tonight, just not feeling at the top of my game tonight and super tired so I'm gonna call it a day. Hope y'all had a great tied up Tuesday

Today's word is ORGULOUS.
Orgulous [OR-gyuh-lus] adjective: proud, haughty
Example:
She was tired of the orgulous men she was meeting in the sports bar and decided to try a country western bar and see if she could find herself a cowboy and show him what a good ride was.
Did you know?
"In Troy, there lies the scene. From Isles of Greece / The princes orgulous, their high blood chaf'd, / Have to the port of Athens sent their ships." Thus Shakespeare began the Trojan War tale Troilus and Cressida, employing "orgulous," a colorful word first adopted in the 13th century from Anglo-French "orguillus." After the Bard's day, "orgulous" dropped from sight for 200 years; there is no record of its use until it was rejuvenated by the pens of Robert Southey and Sir Walter Scott in the early 1800s. Twentieth-century authors (including James Joyce and W.H. Auden) continued its renaissance, and it remains an elegant (if infrequent) choice for today's writers.
Pretty tired tonight and I have a job interview in the morning so I think I'm off to get some sleep tonight. Hope y'all had a good Monday
