Today's word is KINETIC.
Kinetic [kuh-NET-ik] adjective
1: of or relating to the motion of material bodies adn the forces and energy associated with them
2a: active, lively
b: dynamic, energizing
3: of or relating to kinetic art
Example:
He has such an amazing charismatic positive energy and my soul is drawn to the kinetic aura that he gives off when I'm near him.
Did you know?
"Kinetic" comes from the Greek word "kinētikos," meaning "of motion," which in turn traces to the verb "kinein," meaning "to move." Compared to some other English words that have their roots in Greek, "kinetic" is a relatively young English word; the earliest evidence we have of its use is from 1864. Although it deals with the motion of images rather than material bodies, the word "cinema" can also be traced back to "kinein." The verb "kinein" is the source of the Greek "kinēma," meaning "movement," to which the French referred in the coining of their "cinématographe." "Cinématographe" is the word that gave rise to the English word "cinematograph," of which "cinema" is simply a shortened form.
I had an amazing couple days with my Man! I'm so glad he was ab le to come over, even though Ward Stock was a bust and got rained out and moved and we didn't even go lol. It was interesting trying to be quiet in the throws of passion while my adult was in the other room lol. Maybe he realizes now he needs to get a life and move out lol. Hope y'all had a great Sunday and a fabulous weekend

Today's word is BOFFIN.
Boffin [BAH-fin] noun: a scientific expert; especially : one involved in technological research
Example:
Thank you to all the boffins who have worked hard over the years to develop and bring us the best in wireless phones that we enjoy today.
Did you know?
"Boffin" is an informal word that is more common in the U.K. than in the U.S. It is a relative newcomer to the English language, only appearing toward the end of World War II. Despite its youth, however, the origins of "boffin" are a mystery to us. The term was probably first applied by British Royal Air Force members to the scientists and engineers working closely with radar technology. The term was soon being more broadly applied to scientists involved in technological research. British speakers also use "boffin" colloquially to refer to academics or intellectuals in general, often in a manner that is synonymous with "nerd" or "egghead."
Cute word lol and it doesn't surprise me that its more popular in the U.K. It sorta just sounds like something they'd say over there lol. Ok so the app is all submitted and I hope I at least get an interview this time around. Fuck the last couple times I've applied for a new job I haven't even gotten to interview  I'm pretty sick of my coworker and just want to leave if thats what God has planned for me. If I have to stay I guess I'll need to figure out why I'm there and what its teaching me about myself and or maybe other people. She has done and said a few things over the past several days that just floor me and I wanted to throttle her today. I'm sure she senses my irritation at times lol. Good for her, makes her aware that not everyone thinks she's a fucking princess!!! Oh well I'm off to get some sleep...night y'all

Today's word is COCOON.
Cocoon [kuh-KOON] verb: to wrap or envelop in or as if in a cocoon
Example:
One of my favorite parts of having my Man here at night is when he cocoons me in his arms as we fall asleep.
Did you know?
Since at least 1679, English speakers have been using the noun "cocoon" for the silky covering that surrounds a caterpillar or other insect larva in the pupa stage of metamorphosis. The word came into English from French, which in turn borrowed it from an Occitan term for "eggshell." Linguists believe the Occitan term was probably born of the Latin word "coccum," a noun that has been translated as "kermes," the dried bodies of some insects that can be found on certain trees. The verb "cocoon" has been with us since at least 1881.
Super busy applying for a new job but thought I'd stop by with a word tonight. Hope y'all had a decent Monday

Today's word is CINEAST.
Cineast [SIN-ee-ast] noun: a devotee of motion pictures; also: moviemaker
Example:
He considered himself to be quite knowledgeable in regards to the film industry but he met his match in the young cineast and he was also captured by her beautiful blue eyes and laughter as they talked about movie after movie late into the night.
Did you know?
"Cineast" is a French borrowing that made its American premiere in the mid-1920s. The French spliced together "ciné" and "-aste" to create "cinéaste," a word for a filmmaker or movie director. "Ciné" in French is just another word for "cinema," and "-aste" is a suffix that appears in words like "gymnaste" and "enthousiaste." "Cinéaste" underwent several changes once it was established in English. Some writers anglicized its spelling, shortening "-aste" to "-ast" (although "cineaste" and "cinéaste" are also still used). Others began to use "cineast" to mean "film buff," and that's the sense that is most common today.
An interesting word. I think my is a bit of a cineast, he loves talking about actors and actresses and movies has a vast knowledge of it all. Is there a word for someone who is like this but with music, he would be that too lol. Anyway I'm almost done with my job application stuff and hopefully will be turning it in by tomorrow night. I'm anxious to get it all over with and hopefully get an interview and be offered the job so I can discuss an increase in the salary to match what I'm making now or at least not such a huge pay cut. I find it interesting that there are state jobs that don't have union representation too. Not sure yet how I feel about that lol. I take it for granted that the union is there but have never really used it for much. Anyway its been raining and storming here since last week, hopefully it'll clear off next weekend for the huge community party out at the lake. Its called Ward Stock since the lake is Ward Lake and its just a bunch of local bands playing while families enjoy the last weekend of summer before the Labor Day holiday and then later in the evening they call it the adult party where its ok to drink booze and yell and get loud lol. Should be fun! Hope y'all had a great weekend

Today's word is FARD.
Fard [FAHRD] verb: to paint (the face) with cosmetics
Example:
Part of my morning routine is to shower and shave and then brush my teeth before I fard my face with what some men call war paint.
Did you know?
Though a relatively uncommon little word, "fard" is used to describe a very familiar activity—the application of cosmetics. When it is encountered these days it is often in participle form, as in our first example above, or simply as an example of an unusual or old-timey word. "Fard" was borrowed from Anglo-French (from the verb "farder") and first appeared in English in the mid-1400s. It is ultimately of Germanic origin and akin to the Old High German word "faro," meaning "colored."
I know I missed the midnight so it's going to say I posted on Saturday but I don't give a fuck! This word cracked me up  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! I'm gonna be busy for a few days applying for a new job. If its meant to be it will be, so we'll see. There's a bit more to it than that but I'd rather not go into the details. I hope that everyone had a great week and had a fabulous Friday!

Today's word is CHICANERY.
chicanery [shih-KAY-nuh-ree] noun
1: deception by artful subterfuge or sophistry: trickery
2: a piece of sharp practice (as at law): trick
Example:
"[The film] Now You See Me tries to mystify you with its cinematic chicanery while constantly reminding you that you're not paying attention to what's truly going down." - From a movie review by Craig D. Lindsey at nashvillescene.com, June 6, 2013
Did you know?
"We have hardly any words that do so fully expresse the French clinquant, naiveté … chicaneries." So lamented English writer John Evelyn in a letter to Sir Peter Wyche in 1665. Evelyn and Wyche were members of a group called the Royal Society, which had formed a committee emulating the French Academy for the purpose of "improving the English language." We can surmise that, in Evelyn's estimation, the addition of "chicanery" to English from French was an improvement. What he apparently didn't realize was that English speakers had adopted the word from the French "chicanerie" before he wished for it; the term appears in English manuscripts dating from 1609. Similarly, "clinquant" ("glittering with gold or tinsel") dates from 1591. "Naïveté," on the other hand, waited until 1673 to appear.
I used the sites example because I liked it and the the review was interesting and I honestly couldn't tell if he liked it or not lol. Anyway I am trying to get to this every day but some days it just slips by and I don't remember until its to late. I'm pretty busy with life and work but I think that's probably the norm for most people. I got some super exciting news last night though, my Man is coming over next weekend even though he was just here! I'm so fucking excited to see him again cuz I didn't think I was going to see him for 2 months! Oh and the weather is starting to go back to the normal southeast stuff...cloudy and rainy. But the spectacular summer we've had was bound to come to a close eventually. Hope y'all had a fantastic day!

Today's word is IRASCIBLE.
Irascible [ir-RASS-uh-bul] adjective: marked by hot temper and easily provoked anger
Example:
People who are negative and irascible are not just unpleasant but it feels like they suck the life right out of you after they leave your presents.
Did you know?
If you try to take apart "irascible" in the same manner as "irrational," "irresistible," or "irresponsible," you might find yourself wondering what "ascible" means—but that's not how "irascible" came to be. The key to the meaning of "irascible" isn't the negative prefix "ir-" (which is used before words that begin with "r"), but the Latin noun "ira," meaning "anger." From "ira," which is also the root of "irate" and "ire," came the Latin verb "irasci" ("to become angry"), which led to French "irascible." English speakers borrowed the word from French in the 16th century.
Its been a spectacular weekend! Lots of social gatherings and I got tons of sunshine and once again came to the conclusion that my legs just don't tan lol. I even got a tiny bit of my room cleaned up. More to come in the future and hopefully by the end I'll have only the things that I truly need and want and not all the fucking garbage that we all seem to collect over the years. Gonna go out and enjoy some of the meteor shower tonight since its been so nice and when stuff like that happens around here you take full advantage if you like stuff like that! Hope y'all had a fabulous weekend

Today's word is UMBRAGE.
Umbrage [UM-brij] noun
1: shade, shadow
2a: vague suggestion: hint
b: reason for doubt
3: a feeling of resentment at some often fancied slight or insult
Example:
He thought he was being smooth but after he stopped talking she slapped his face and walked away leaving him stunned and perplexed at her reaction. She on the other hand was furious at his callous words and took umbrage at his insinuating that she was easy and only looking for a good time because she was having a drink in a bar.
Did you know?
"Deare amber lockes gave umbrage to her face." This line from a poem by William Drummond, published in 1616, uses "umbrage" in its original sense of "shade or shadow," a meaning shared by its Latin source, "umbra." ("Umbella," the diminutive form of "umbra," means "a sunshade or parasol" in Latin and is an ancestor of our word "umbrella.") Beginning in the early 17th century, "umbrage" was also used to mean "a shadowy suggestion or semblance of something," as when Shakespeare, in Hamlet, wrote, "His semblable is his mirror, and who else would trace him, his umbrage, nothing more." In the same century, "umbrage" took on the pejorative senses "a shadow of suspicion cast on someone" and "displeasure, offense"; the latter is commonly used today in the phrases "give umbrage" or "take umbrage."
I find it interesting how a word can slightly change in its original meaning over time. Either way I like this word and do hope I used it correctly lol. Its been such a long week I hope tomorrow is easy and pleasant, I so need a nice relaxed day at work lol. Glad my little is feeling a bit better too, she was in bad shape yesterday morning. Hope she can pass all the crystals from her bladder before they get bigger and end up stones...my poor little girl. Anyway I have some chores to do so I'm gonna say good night y'all.

Today's word is ADDLEPATED.
Addlepated [AD-ul-pay-tud] adjective
1: being mixed up: confused
2: eccentric
Example:
They had fallen asleep after a long night of passionate fucking and when she tried to wake him he began to babble like an addlepated fool. She giggled and then began to play with his cock to get him hard so she could wake him up the proper way.
Did you know?
In Middle English an "adel eye" was a putrid egg. The stench of such an egg apparently affected the minds of some witty thinkers, who hatched a comparison between the diminished, unsound quality of an "adel" (or "addle") egg and an empty, confused head—or pate. "Your owne imagination, which was no lesse Idle, then your head was addle all that day," wrote one 17th-century wit at play with the words "idle" and "addle." Today, "addle" is often found in combination with words referring to one's noggin, as in "addlepated," "addlebrained," and "addle-headed."
This is a cool word. Sorta reminds me of the word befuddled Well I had a super long day but I ended it in a great way. My took me to see a movie tonight and we had a wonderful time and the movie was pretty funny. Off to spend some time with my pillows! Hope y'all had a fabulous day!

Today's word is BOOBOISIE.
Booboisie [boob-wah-ZEE] noun: the general public regarded as consisting of boobs
Example:
I'm pretty sure that the booboisie have no regard for this word and that is can be found in the dictionary.
Did you know?
Journalist and critic H. L. Mencken is often credited with coining "booboisie," a blend of "boob," as it refers to someone who cares too much about things and too little about ideas and art, and "bourgeoisie," that French-origin term for the middle class. Mencken may have indeed coined the word, but it seems likely that he wasn't the word's only inventor. According to the 2006 Yale Book of Quotations, Mencken was quoted using "booboisie" in an August 1922 issue of The Dial before it appeared in any of his writings. But a February 22, 1922 Washington Post article opens with the following line: "A plot to mulct the 'booboisie' which might have been invented by an author of get-rich-quick fiction …." The booboisie, of course, couldn't care less.
That word is fun to day lol. Ok its been a long week (yes I realize its only Tuesday lol) so I'm gonna go have a smoke and take my out and then go to bed. Hope y'all had a wonderful day

Today's word is NARY.
Nary [NAIR-ee] adjective: not any: not one
Example:
She looked and searched all over the face of the planet for another man like him but she found nary another man like him.
Did you know?
"Nary," often used in the phrase "nary a" to mean "not a single," is an 18th century alteration of the adjectival phrase "ne'er a," in which "ne'er" is a contraction of "never." That contraction dates to the 13th century, and the word it abbreviates is even older: "never" can be traced back to Old English "nǽ fre," a combination of "ne" ("not" or "no") and "ǽfre" ("ever"). Old English "ne" also combined with "ā" ("always") to give us "nā," the Old English ancestor of our "no." "Ā," from the Latin "aevum" ("age" or "lifetime") and Greek "aiōn" ("age"), is related to the English adverb "aye," meaning "always, continually, or ever." This "aye" (pronounced to rhyme with "say") is unrelated to the more familiar "aye" (pronounced to rhyme with "sigh") used as a synonym of "yes."
I have always liked this word. I can see how it might be a negative word but I just don't use it that way I guess when I use it. It was a fucking Monday for sure today. I did my best to keep my attitude in check and stay positive but by 4:15 all I could think is my coworker is an inconsiderate shallow bitch. Its been suggested that she is a drunk just like my boss and that would explain why she was hired over someone I felt was better suited for the job. Oh well...whatevs. I won't be there forever and dream of the day I can kiss off and tell them fuck y'all  Hope everyone had a fanfreakintastic day, or as good as a Monday can be for you

Today's word is ESPLANADE.
Esplanade [ESS-pluh-nahd] noun: a level stretch of paved or grassy ground; especially: one designed for walking or driving along a shore
Example:
The esplanade was full of people milling about buying goods from the vendors and strolling along the river's edge in the cool breeze that blowing in the mid-afternoon sun.
Did you know?
The history of "esplanade" is completely on the level. The Italians created "spianata," for a level stretch of ground, from their verb "spianare," which means "to make level." "Spianare" in turn comes from the Latin verb "explanare," which also means "to make level" and which is the source of our verb "explain." Middle-French speakers borrowed "spianata" as "esplanade," and in the late 1500s we borrowed the French word. In the late 17th century, and even later, esplanades were associated with war. The word was used to refer to a clear space between a citadel and the nearest house of a town or to a slope around a fortification used for defense against attack. Today, however, esplanades are usually for enjoyment.
Hey everyone I'm still here! I just had a hard time getting back into the swing of life after vacation lol. I hope y'all didn't miss me to much. I just said goodbye to my Man after he'd been here for the weekend and we had a super amazing time while he was here. I've been planning some changes inside my little apartment that I hope I can pull off and afford some new small additions that I can use as storage furniture or upgrades to make my little place more mine again. I'm also hoping it encourages my kiddo to finally spread his own wings and find a real job and some room mates soon lol. I love him but he really needs to go! I'm excited to get to spend time with my this fall finally since she's been to busy this summer to hang out with her old momma lol. I just feel like I've got this renewed want and need for changes in some areas of my life...we'll see how long it lasts and if anything comes of it. Could be this new amazing path that I've been on with my Man and how its affecting me and my thinking and my wants and needs. He truly inspires me to be my absolute best! He is my reason for waking in the morning and my excuse for sleeping to hold him close in my dreams when he's not here with me  I hope y'all have a fabulous Sunday!

Today's word is HABILIMENT.
Habiliment [huh-BIL-uh-munt] noun:
1: characteristic apparatus: trappings
2a: the dress characteristic of an occupation or occasion - usually used in plural
b: clothes - usually used in plural
Example:
"My riches are these poor habiliments, / Of which if you should here disfurnish me, / You take the sum and substance that I have." — From Shakespeare's 1595 play The Two Gentlemen of Verona
Did you know?
"Habiliment," from Middle French "abillement," is a bit old-fashioned and is often used to describe complex, multi-pieced outfits like those of medieval times. For instance, a full suit of armor—which might include a helmet, gorget, pallette, brassard, skirt of tasses, tuille, gauntlet, cuisse, jambeau, and solleret, along with other pieces and plates—can be considered the habiliments of a knight. Nowadays, "habiliment," which is usually used in its plural form, is also fitting for the dress of an occupation, such as the different vestments of a priest, or for clothes, such as elegant formal wear, worn on special occasions. When "habiliment" is used for plain old "clothes," it is more than likely for jocular or poetic effect—as we see it being used by Shakespeare in the first example above.
Ok so I used the sites example but I do enjoy Shakespeare lol. I'm having a great time hanging out with my mom and dad. Day two and fuck they scare the shit outta me when we drive on the highway! I'm pretty sure the next time we go somewhere I'm driving! Holy fuck...waiting at a stop light my mom just kept creeping up little by little until she was RIGHT on the dudes ass in front of us. If that had been me she was behind I woulda been pissed lol. Oh well Off tomorrow with my auntie who is more like an older sister and we're going to the coast then to a pow wow on Saturday...I'm so excited!!! Hope y'all are doing great and having an excellent week
