TheBanyanTree: Word

[tobie at shpilchas.net]

Good clean fun.

	I have what I call my FEWTNID (Franklin Electronic Webster’s Third New International Dictionary). I keep it by my side when I write at night (my favorite time to write). I go spelunking in it all the time and come up with some wonderful words. I’ve  laughed my head off, cringed, been inspired to do research, and lots of aghastness (not a word so far as I know) that there is call for the words I find. 

	I am the cheapest date ever. Just sit in front of the Oxford English Dictionary with me, add half a glass of good wine and I’m ecstatic. 

	I’ll keep my eyes on the word of the day, but I might refer to FEWTNID.

A tease:
"Where are you headed to after this, Mr. Zeno?"

And a phony:
"Can I help?"
