Apologies for my recent brief absence, friends. The world, my mind, my heart - it‘s all so much (too much) and is getting the best of me lately. I had a word all ready for #weirdwords yesterday and forgot to post - am behind on posts for #readyourkindle. Anyway, here is my very gloomy reasoning in haiku form 🤷‍♀️😬#haikuhive

My #weirdwords is courtesy of Seth Meyers' Closer Look, when he made me aware of Grantifas. Don't f#$&$ with people with crocheting skills 🤘.... also who in their right mind would disrespect their grandparents?! ☠️☠️

lil1inblue @TheBookHippie We have 3 white boys that are maybe 19 that drive laps at our protests and yell obscenities out the window. It's the same 3 every time. I enjoy when the honking drowns them out. They're so pathetic. 2w

AmyG I am a Grantifa. We have been around a long, long time…harboring lots and lots and lots of anger. 2w

TheBookHippie @lil1inblue same here. So utterly ridiculous. 2w

Apparently this is the longest word for “pretty” or “beautiful.” That‘s a whole lotta syllables 😂🤪 #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

CBee Tagging some pulchritudinous people 💚 @Megabooks @Daisey @TheBookHippie @Amiable @vivastory @Catlass007 @mandarchy @dabbe @IndoorDame @peanutnine @psalva @sace @slategreyskies @Lil1inblue @Deblovestoread @BookmarkTavern @Cuilin @Kerrbearlib @jen_the_scribe @CindyMyLifeIsLit 2w

Cuilin Oh my, memories!! I learned this word from watching Caillou when my girls were little. 🤦‍♀️ 2w

Amiable Oh, I‘ve loved this word since I first heard it. This and “mellifluous.” They both sound so lovely. 🥰 2w

CBee @Cuilin oh goodness - Caillou 😂 I must admit I found that series so annoying 🫣😂 2w

CBee @Amiable yesss, I love mellifluous too! 2w

dabbe When you say this one out loud, it does NOT sound beautiful; it's sounds like someone's willed with something putrid! 😂 Fab word. 😍 2w

Cuilin @CBee oh it‘s shockingly bad. He was so whiny. 2w

willaful @Cuilin I learned it from Woody Harrelson singing on SNL. “Pretty lady, foxy lady, attractive lady, pulchritudinous lady...“ 2w

BookmarkTavern What a great word! 2w

Cuilin @willaful 🤣🤣 2w

CBee @Cuilin solidarity 😂😂 2w

CBee @willaful oh man, I might have to look that up - surely there‘s a clip somewhere 👏🏻 2w

I missed #WeirdWordWednesday ! My son is visiting from Oregon so my normal routine has been thrown to the winds. Anyway, I ran across this gem in the tagged book and found it fitting for this challenge. #WeirdWords

I didn‘t really realize it until today, but grimace is sort of a weird word to say. Try saying it a few times and see if you agree 😁 And who could forget lovable Grimace (but why did they give him that name?) of McDonald‘s fame! #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

CBee @Megabooks @Daisey @TheBookHippie @Amiable @vivastory @Catlass007 @mandarchy @dabbe @IndoorDame @peanutnine @psalva @sace @slategreyskies @Lil1inblue @Deblovestoread @BookmarkTavern @Cuilin @Kerrbearlib @jen_the_scribe @CindyMyLifeIsLit 3w

Kerrbearlib Love it! 3w

dabbe Fab word. And your face actually contorts into one the more times you say it! 💜 3w

Amiable I remember looking it up once because I was wondering what Grimace was supposed to be —it said he was a taste bud?? Am I remembering that correctly? Because that‘s a super-weird cartoon character. 😄 3w

lil1inblue Grimace is such an underutilized word. But so descriptive! 3w

BookmarkTavern I love this word so much! 3w

ncsufoxes When I was little my parents took me to McDonald‘s somewhere in NJ & they had a person in a Grimace costume. Apparently I was terrified. I vaguely remember it (I was probably 3 or 4). I remember there was a Hamburgler & Ronald. My kids thinks it‘s funny when my mom tells them I was scared of Grimace. 3w

CBee @dabbe 😂😂😂 3w

CBee @Amiable that‘s news to me and if true, that‘s just…..weird 😂 3w

CBee @Amiable so apparently he was originally “Evil Grimace” and stole milkshakes. He‘s been described as a taste bud, the embodiment of a milkshake (🤷‍♀️), and just a lovable blob. I had no idea about any of this 😂 3w

CBee @ncsufoxes what a story! I mean, I can get why he might be scary though 😂 Especially if confronted with him in real life. 3w

TheBookHippie Why is a taste bud purple ? 3w

CBee @TheBookHippie the ultimate question 😂😂🤪🤪 3w

There are sooo many viable options these days…

And also — I ❤️ German. It‘s so strangely and perfectly specific.

julesG @Jari-chan We hardly ever use it these days, right? Not even "Backpfeife" for a slap in the face. I think I had to explain it to my children because we read it in a Kästner book. 3w

Amiable @julesG @jari-chan I think it needs to make a comeback! 😀 (edited) 3w

Cuilin 😦 I needed a trigger warning for this post lol 😑 3w

Jari-chan @julesG You're right. I know the word Backpfeife, but I guess it's a bit outdated. Even though it's such a beautiful word 😁 It's not used in Switzerland, though. 3w

CBee This is 🔥 and also I‘m going to ask my German hubby about this word! 3w

Amiable @Jari-chan @julesG My German teacher used it in class the other day when we were discussing how German words and phrases get “built.” She grew up in East Germany before the Berlin Wall came down. I think she‘s about 50. (edited) 3w

Amiable @Cuilin Ha ha, sorry! 😬 3w

TieDyeDude I don't know that a fist would be impactful enough... 3w

squirrelbrain Love this! 😝 3w

julesG @Amiable same, I also grew up in East Germany. German nouns are great, you can put nearly any amount of nouns together to make a new one. 3w

dabbe @TieDyeDude 🎯🎯🎯 3w

dabbe I felt both my fists curl up in readiness, reading this! 🤜🏻💙🤛🏻 3w
