Word Nerd: Silly Words
Such a Word Nerd that I am I subscribe to Dictionary.com to receive their word of the day and to play word related quizzes (I do so like to determine if my grammar knowledge is up to snuff). They recently did their own version of March Madness, except with words, as in which words are favorites in terms of putting a smile on your face. Here is the bracket. What word puts the biggest smile on your face?
It’s difficult to pick, isn’t it?





I’ll say. I’m also picturing a person standing in her house, audibly comparing each bracket several times over in order to pick which will move on…
The closed eyes and points method works well.
That’s cheating.

I had a friend who always said, “Hasta la squeegee!” Looking at it now, the word “squeegee” in no way, shape or form rhymes or resembles the word, “vista”. But I think he thought it did. Ands, so, that is why I choose “squeegee”.
Squeegee is fun sounding even without Terminator overtones.
Ahh, yeh, I hadn’t thought of that. No, this story takes place pre-Terminator movies, so it was a lot less intense. Two friends saying goodbye.
