Word of the Day

Join in with the "Word of the Day".

Leave a comment in which you use the day's selected (not "select") word in some way. You may simply write a simple sentence, a flash fiction story, a poem, you decide.

Or, if you want, discuss how you first heard the word or ponder the meaning. Remember, words are a game to be played, not just a vocabulary to memorize.

Have fun.

No pooh-bah I. You can be one if you want. All it takes is an ink pad and a rubber stamp. You can make any document look important.
