Can you believe that tomorrow is the 110 year anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic?  As far as I have it, there is no one left to tell the tale, but throughout the last century, there’s been numerous recollections, retellings and speculations on the awful events of 14/15 April 1912. Therefore, I’ve decided to make our Wondrous Word for this week: I’m not going to give you a history lesson today. I am sure The History Channel and various other platforms are flooded with programs and articles this whole week. But did you know that Titanic’s name didn’t just get sucked out of some […]

Holidays are two sleeps away. Of course we are just going to swagger into it. Yup, that is our Wondrous Word for today. It’s the first time in a long time that my my Mommy will have a holiday where she can actually just relax and not worry about things happening at school and in the business. The joys have getting a partner in! So yes, we plan on swaggering around the house and get a few things done for school and the library in the new term. The word swagger isn’t a new […]

My Mommy is currently reading Triflers Need Not Apply by Camilla Bruce and my Mommy didn’t have a clue what a trifler is. Perfect choice for a Wondrous Words Wednesday. Our trusted friend Merriam Webster, has a bit of a different definition though: a person who lacks experience and competence in an art or science he was never taken seriously as a comic book artist, with most illustrators regarding him as a mere trifler Synonyms for trifler amateur, hack, hacker, inexpert, jackleg Words Related to trifler beginner, freshman, greenhorn, kid, learner, neophyte, newcomer, novice, rookie, tenderfoot, tyro So […]

Greetings you guys! How are you today? I am just a tad bit upset, but will tell you later. Yes, we are slightly late with posting our WWW post. Part of why I am so terribly upset. Today’s Wondrous Words Wednesday will be a really quick post, as my Mommy and Daddy are packing to go away for the weekend. Yes, of course that’s why I am upset!

We got our word for today, from the lovely Wendy and Dani over @ ODaniGirl. They joined us two weeks ago and we simply love this word! Say it out loud. Gosh – that sounds so good. But I just don’t think the definition is suitable at all. I believe catawampus should rather be one of those spell words in Harry Potter where they simply wave the wand, say […]

I know, that’s rather strange for a bookworm, but did you know that worms actually love company and form herds? Earthworms form herds and make “group decisions”, scientists have discovered. The earthworms use touch to communicate and influence each other’s behaviour, according to research published in the journal Ethology. By doing so the worms collectively decide to travel in the same direction as part of a single herd. See, that is why all you bookworms love to gather here on the blogosphere and herd together. I think the perfect word for all of you today is: We love revering to the Merriam Webster Dictionary for word definitions.  Full Definition of gregarious 1a: tending to associate with others of one’s kind – […]

I’ve actually never thought about that. Have you ever done that before? If I have to choose a word for 2022, I am going to be a copycat and take the brilliant author, Colleen Hoover’s word of the year: If you Google the word, you will see that the word cromulent originated as a joke on the popular sitcom, The Simpsons. If it’s a real and proper word by now, in other words, is it listed in the Oxford Dictionary, I actually have no idea. But I do know that Merriam Webster considers it as a perfectly, cromulent word. Cromulent first appeared in the February 18, 1996 […]

This week will be our favorite one and our chosen word is also one of our favorite words in the whole wide world. No, it’s not a new word to any of us, but after the passed year, the concept became a bit foreign. When my Mommy comes home from school today, we are officially on holiday until the 10th of January. Whoo hoo!! We really need a nice, long break. Don’t worry, we promise not to disappear. In fact, the plan is to spend much more time on the blog than what we did over the last couple of months. But before all that, let’s quickly take a look at the word holiday. Etymology. The word holiday comes from the Old English word hāligdæg (hālig “holy” + dæg “day”). The word originally referred only to […]
