Re: New Word for the Day
I came across this one in a book of pictures.
PAREIDOLIA
We seem to have a word for everything......you just have to search for them.

OMG I actually have this! Grandad you've finally diagnosed me!
Interesting word. I'd never heard of it before.

Re: New Word for the Day

Re: New Word for the Day
I personally like "Frostage." Don't know who thought it up but it is pertinent and a word I can easily remember.

Re: New Word for the Day
I didn't know Flummery as anything but - interesting - it is both a dessert AND empty emotions.
I sometimes wonder how words are assigned their meaning(s)? How one word OR really set of sounds comes to mean this while another set of sounds comes to mean something else.

Re: New Word for the Day
Definitely these days the world seems full (although I suspect we were ALWAYS full of Zabernists 'cept we never heard about them immediately in graphic living colour daily!)

Re: New Word for the Day
I had to Google that one LLL. Apparently it means 'lack of knowledge or awareness: ignorance'
They were talking on Breakfast TV this morning about new words now officially in the Oxford English dictionary.
Words like 'twerk' and 'mint' and a latest one 'forsure' that I hear increasingly particularly among the sporting fraternity.
But one I really like is 'Affluenza' a social disease resulting from extreme materialism and excessive consumerism.
