The Weird World of Words: A Guided Tour | Mitchell Symons

#WeirdWordWednesday

I saw a IG reel posted by Cory Booker of a woman sharing the definition of trumpery. And sure enough it‘s right there in my Miriam-Webster dictionary. Sometimes the universe gets it right.

DGRachel Wasn‘t it from Auntie Bev? She lives in the Raleigh/Durham area of NC. I adore her and she‘s worth following on IG in her own right. 17h

Trashcanman Whats a good word for the people who believe his bullshit? Suckers, idiots, delusional, racists, bigots? We need a new word that encapsulates all of those into one. 17h

Deblovestoread @DGRachel Yes! I loved her reel and will follow her. @Trashcanman Totally agree! 17h

Aims42 lol! I love this 🤣👍 Facts!! 15h

AmyG @Trashcanman We do need a word. Where to even begin? 15h

Sace @Trashcanman Behold: https://www.mentalfloss.com/posts/synonyms-for-idiot#:~:text=.... 14h

Chrissyreadit @Sace brilliant! @Trashcanman I believe “cult member” can also be a descriptor but it‘s not as viscous as they are. @Deblovestoread I saw this too and loved it so much! @DGRachel I keep adding people to follow- and am so glad to discover these brilliant people ❤️ 14h

Trashcanman @Sace Thank you. But I think that his supporters are much more than just idiots. A lot are. But you can be an idiot and not be a racist, bigoted, heartless, POS. Just calling them an idiot is too kind. 14h

Sace @Trashcanman true. 11h

dabbe So frickin‘ true. 🩵🎯🩵 10h

Did you know (I didn‘t) that the cashew is not a nut? It‘s the seed of a cashew apple, classified as a “drupe.” The book, “A Tree a Day,” inspired me to research this - there is a page devoted to The Cashew of Pirangi in Brazil - it‘s enormous! #naturalitsy #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

CBee @Megabooks @Daisey @TheBookHippie @Amiable @vivastory @Catlass007 @mandarchy @dabbe @IndoorDame @peanutnine @psalva @sace @slategreyskies @Lil1inblue @Deblovestoread @BookmarkTavern @Cuilin @Kerrbearlib @AllDebooks 19h

lil1inblue I learned something new today! ✨️🎶The more you know!🎶✨️ 19h

CBee @lil1inblue yay! 😀 18h

TheBookHippie I am loving this book! 18h

Megabooks I did know this, and it‘s very cool! Like how the tomato is actually a fruit. Or mushrooms are sexual organs. 😳 17h

Deblovestoread I just learned this yesterday as I caught up in my reading 🤯

A Tree a Day: 365 of the World�s Most Majestic Trees

17h

peanutnine Okay this explains why I'm allergic to nuts except I can eat cashews just fine! 17h

AllDebooks That's fabulous 👌 17h

Jas16 I had no idea! 16h

MonicaLoves2Read I didn't know that. Don't you love learning stuff from reading? I do! 16h

dabbe Very interesting! I love learning new things! 😍 14h

CatLass007 Cool. 14h

CBee @Megabooks wait, mushrooms? Omg 🫣🫣😂😂 12h

CBee @Deblovestoread I didn‘t read it for three months so I just started with July - that NY “resolution” didn‘t last long 😂 12h

CBee @peanutnine oh wow! I actually read you shouldn‘t eat cashews if you‘re allergic to nuts which is odd. And even more interesting is that you CAN eat them! Cashews are yummy. (edited) 12h

Deblovestoread @Megabooks Sat what now? I will never look at a mushroom the same again 🤣🤣🤣 12h

CBee @Deblovestoread I KNOW 🍄 🫣 11h

Megabooks “Therefore, a mushroom is more like a genderless fungus penis…” https://www.mycopia.com/blog/1120 Biology is Wild!! @cbee @Deblovestoread 7h

CBee @Megabooks can I use “fungus penis” as an insult? Cause that‘s like, golden 😂😂😂 6h

AnnCrystal 🆒 This is incredible 🤩👌🏼💝💝💝 4h
