Windows gave me a message: "Windows checking connectivity." Say what? Is that a word? (well, the dictionary says it is but it still sounds made up to me.)
We passed an armoured car the other day that I thought said "cashologists." I want to be a cashologist. I've never had a job that paid more than about 33 cents a day. How ever, in a dissappointativity kind of way, I saw it again today, and it turns out what it really says is "cashlogistics." Not as much fun. I still want to be a cashologist. Next time the clerk says, cash or credit, I think I'll tell her I'm a cashologist. And then charge it, of course.
And, lastly, this week the A Word A Day people outdid themselves with great words to know, but probably not what I can work into my everyday discussions. My two personal favorites were coprolite - a noun, meaning fossilized excrement: from Greek kopro- (dung) + -lite (stone), from lithos (stone) ~~ and callipygian - an adjective, meaning, having well-shaped buttocks: from Greek calli- (beautiful) + pyge (buttocks). Now, aren't those useful?
though I don't know when I'd need a word for fossilized excrement, I will use callipygian as I am working out to remind me what I am working towards.
Blessings!

Fabulous words! Things like this are fodder for creative thinking and writing. Now, how creative do I have to be to use those last two words. . . . *grin*
Um, yes, very useful. I mentioned these to Cheez but I think i will refrain from enlightening the other two. Cheez mentioned a word she recently discovered that is even more, um, useful than the two you mentioned, but I shan't write it here.
I actually popped in to say that I am back from vacation & catching up on my blog-reading, but I see that you've not posted in the last week either. Hmm. At least neither of us had to miss each other's writing as we were doubtless doing more interesting things.
