Phrase of the day…
“I’m not a control freak. I’m a control enthusiast.”
Merriam-Webster Online asked what people’s favorite non-words are, and I’m beyond thrilled that confuzzled is number 2.
Their definition of lingweenie is “a person incapable of producing neologisms.” This naturally led me to look up neologism on that same site and I’m loving definition 2:
1 : a new word, usage, or expression
2 : a meaningless word coined by a psychotic
Can we say “Boofle“?
I have a tendency to make up words and phrases and I came up with one today that I like:
While puttering around the house, I caught my finger on something (hardly an unusual occurrence). We had some bruising and some skin loss. I decided that my house is so pleased that I’m fixing it up that it gave me a little kiss. My bandage is covering what I have now named a house hickey.
