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. 6d

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. 6d

Deblovestoread @DGRachel Yes! I loved her reel and will follow her. @Trashcanman Totally agree! 6d

TheBookHippie @Trashcanman 💯 6d

TheBookHippie Loved this so much!! 6d

Aims42 lol! I love this 🤣👍 Facts!! 6d

AmyG @Trashcanman We do need a word. Where to even begin? 6d

Sace @Trashcanman Behold: https://www.mentalfloss.com/posts/synonyms-for-idiot#:~:text=.... 6d

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 ❤️ 6d

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. 6d

Sace @Trashcanman true. 6d

dabbe So frickin‘ true. 🩵🎯🩵 5d

Amiable It‘s like a nightmare—I keep pinching myself to wake up but unfortunately we‘re already awake. 😖 5d

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

lil1inblue I learned something new today! ✨️🎶The more you know!🎶✨️ 6d

CBee @lil1inblue yay! 😀 6d

TheBookHippie I am loving this book! 6d

Megabooks I did know this, and it‘s very cool! Like how the tomato is actually a fruit. Or mushrooms are sexual organs. 😳 6d

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

peanutnine Okay this explains why I'm allergic to nuts except I can eat cashews just fine! 6d

AllDebooks That's fabulous 👌 6d

Jas16 I had no idea! 6d

MonicaLoves2Read I didn't know that. Don't you love learning stuff from reading? I do! 6d

dabbe Very interesting! I love learning new things! 😍 6d

CatLass007 Cool. 6d

CBee @Megabooks wait, mushrooms? Omg 🫣🫣😂😂 6d

CBee @Deblovestoread I didn‘t read it for three months so I just started with July - that NY “resolution” didn‘t last long 😂 6d

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) 6d

Deblovestoread @Megabooks Sat what now? I will never look at a mushroom the same again 🤣🤣🤣 6d

CBee @Deblovestoread I KNOW 🍄 🫣 5d

Megabooks “Therefore, a mushroom is more like a genderless fungus penis…” https://www.mycopia.com/blog/1120 Biology is Wild!! @cbee @Deblovestoread 5d

CBee @Megabooks can I use “fungus penis” as an insult? Cause that‘s like, golden 😂😂😂 5d
