Today's word is GLOSS.
Gloss [GLAHSS] verb
1a: to provide a glass for: explain, define
b: interpret
2: to dispose of by false or perverse interpretation
Example:
Her eyes glazed over as he continued to run at the mouth and use words that she thought made him sound arrogant, but then he stopped and began to gloss what he was saying in a way she understood and could relate to better.
Not sure if I used that correctly. But it wasn't the meaning I thought it was. It seems the word gloss can also be used as a noun which means shine or as part of the phrase gloss over meaning to treat or describe something as if it were not important. But this meaning comes from the Greek origin "glossa" or "glotta" meaning tongue or language or obscure word. Glossary is from the same root. Interesting, I love learning that a word has more than one meaning and can be used as more than just a noun or verb or whatever. Anyway its cold out and its a bit snowy but not much, this storm is taking its time apparently. I've got some writing stuff to do so I'm gonna wish y'all a great night

Today's word is DUCKBOARD.
Duckboard [DUK-bord] noun: a boardwalk of slatted flooring laid on a wet, muddy, or cold surface -- usually used in plural
Example:
He stood and stepped out of the hot tub onto the duckboards where the tub sat near the deck. He reached for her hand to help her out but she was just at eye level to his stiff cock and had other plans as she reached up and grabbed it with her hand and slowly started sliding it in and out of her mouth.
Interesting word. We have a lot of duckboard around here on the trails since its so wet and soggy with all the muskeg here. Anyway I have a few things I need to get done tonight and there is a storm headed this way so I'm gonna say I hope everyone has a great night

Today's word is FLAGRANT.
Flagrant [FLAY-grunt] adjective: conspicuously offensive; especially: so obviously inconsistent with what is right or proper as to appear to be a flouting of law or morality
Example:
The minute her blind date walked into the coffee shop she could tell that things would not go well. He was dressed in this horrible light blue polyester suit that should have been burned with his disco records and his mannerisms, tone of voice, and just general actions were truly flagrant to her senses, she wished she could just crawl under the table and hide the louder he got telling his life's stories.
Hahaha this word sorta cracks me up. Let's see, its Latin and comes from "flagrare" and "flagrans" which both mean burning or fiery hot, both literally and figuratively. It showed up around the 16th century and by the 18th century it had gained the current meaning of conspicuously bad. It's interchanged a lot with blatant. Anyway, so I'm glad today is almost done, its been a long one for sure. Coming back around from the food coma I think I've been in for a couple days. Holiday's where food is a big focus is bad for me cuz I'm truly a food addict. It was all so good and so hard to say no to and not eat until you almost popped lol. Gonna see if I can find some place to walk in a bit that isn't icy or snowy. I hope y'all have a great night.

Example:

I like this word and it makes me think of someone who forges ahead despite the unknown. someone with a bound and determined attitude ya know. Anyway I'm so glad this holiday weekend is finally over. I have eaten so much over the past few days its time to get back on track and lose some of this winter "baggage". I can feel it lol and it sucks. So...lots of walking in my future for sure. Has been great having my daughter here with me too. She's so cute, she offers to help me but I'm so used to doing everything on my own I have to search for things to have her do while I'm cooking or cleaning up. I love her! I hope everyone had a great day and has a great night.

Today's word is DULCET.
Dulcet [DUL-sut] adjective
1: sweet to the taste
2: pleasing to the ear
3: generally pleasing or agreeable
Example:
He was not only charming, flirtatious, and rich but he had a dulcet appearance which made him absolutely irresistible and the women flocked to him where ever he went.
Wow this word is a hodge-podge of cultures and ancestry. It has roots in not only Latin but Anglo-French as well as Middle English. One thing they all share and has kept the word true to its meaning today is "sweet". Its a very soothing word in my opinion and just feel sweet and soothing and something that would be sweet and luscious on the tongue or very soothing to the ear or just soothing to the senses in general. Anyway I'm enjoying the holiday's and time off work and my kids. I hope everyone has a warm and wonderful Christmas eve where ever you are and whatever you're doing. Woohoo the fat man is coming so everyone off to bed

Today's word is ECHELON.
Echelon [ESH-uh-lahn] noun:
1: a steplike arrangement
2a: one of a series of levels or grades in an organization or field of activity
b: the individuals at such a level
Example:
She knew if she wanted to find a man with money she would have to set her sights on the upper echelon of any of the big corporations in the city.
This word sounds sorta snobbish. It actually is an Old French word "eschelon" meaning rung of a ladder. It showed up in the English language in the 18th century and was first used to refer specifically to a steplike arrangement of troops. Anway, its been a long week and I'm so glad I get tomorrow off. I have quit a few things I have to get done tomorrow so I'll be up early to start my day. I hope everyone has a great night

Today's word is WREAK.
Wreak [REEK] verb:
1: to cause the infliction of (vengeance or punishment)
2: to give free play or course to (malevolent feeling)
3: bring about, cause
Example:
After a night of the best sex she'd ever had she realized seeing him again would wreak havoc on her emotions and the whole "no strings attached" thing would be out the window.
Haha this word is fun. Wish I could figure out how to use it in a sentence for each definition. Although they sound like they'd be similar for each one. Anyway I had dinner with my friend and her husband and my daughter tonight and had a great time talking and eating. She gave me a Christmas gift and its pretty cool, its this plug in light aroma infuser thingy. Its really pretty and is hand made...now I feel bad cuz I didn't get her anything. But I think I'll make clam chowder for them when they get back from Hawaii and invite them over for dinner one night, or take it over there cuz her little place is bigger than mine and they have TV lol. Oh and I'm going to get their mail and check on the apartment a few times while their gone too. Happy Winter Solstice, now the days will start to get longer a few seconds at a time...yea!!! I hope everyone has a great night

Today's word is SUBTERFUGE.
Subterfuge [SUB-ter-fyooj] noun:
1: deception by artifice or stratagem in order to conceal, escape, or evade
2: a deceptive device or stratagem
Example:
She knew he was hiding something from her and she concluded the only way to find out what it was was through means of subterfuge.
This word is fun to say and always makes me think of spies haha. Its from the Latin verbs "subter", which means secretly or underneath, and "fugere" which means to flee. Fugere is also the source of words like fugitive and refuge. It didn't say when this word showed itself in English but it would be interesting to know. Anyway this new phone is going back to the store on Friday! It's to much of a downgrade for me and I hate it. I'll have to pay more for a better one and maybe a bit more on my plan but I'm pretty sure it'll be worth it in the long run. So it's not raining or icy out so I think I might go for a walk since I seriously need it haha. I hope y'all have a great night.

Today's word is ETHEREAL.
Ethereal [ih-THEER-ee-ul] adjective:
1: of or relating to the heavens: heavenly
2: being light and airy: delicate
Example:
She looked ethereal in her white gown as it floated around her voluptuous figure and he thought she looked like an angel and it took his breath away.
I have always liked this word. It made its debute in our language in the 1500's and is from the Greek word "ether", which was derived from the Greek verb "aithein" which meant to ignite or to blaze. Interesting eh? Anyway I'm really glad this day is almost done. It was a Monday for me for sure. I ended up having to buy a new phone today because my old one died. Oh well, I suppose an early Christmas gift for myself that I had to pay for lol. But it works and thats all that counts at this point. I hope y'all have a great night.

Just don't have the wrist strength for it I suppose. Anyway busy doing laundry and getting some things done tonight to get ready for the week ahead. Cold and rainy out tonight...yucky...but better than snow! I hope y'all have a great night and had an awesome weekend!
