It Worked!!

As I'm sure y'all know (and by "y'all" I mean Case and Linds since they are the only ones following this blog) the testing was a success for Casey.  Which means now, in theory, I don't have to keep this blog up anymore.  BUT...!  I say - why not?  I get to babble for a few minutes and hopefully make one of you two smile.  ;)
Here are some new words to ponder:

  • Squelch:  to suppress something.  I think the word is interesting in how it sounds when it's said aloud.  To me it honestly sounds like you are squashing a bug under your shoe or thwacking a spider with a newspaper.  Say it outloud and see what you think.  
  • Poltroon:  cowardly or a coward.  You know how some words will convey their message just by saying it?  This is NOT one of those words.  You say "poltroon" and I'd say "bless you?"
  • Oaf:  a clumsy or dull person.  We all know this one.  But I think "oaf" is just plain fun to both read and say.
That's about it for now, my captive audience.  Next up:  perhaps a Blog after my upcoming mini-vaca with my favorite niece and sis!!  

Stay tuned for the next word entry:  I'm thinking of writing about some of the words I've made up over time and describe their definitions and origins!

...I know you are all now on pins and needles!  >:)
