To be fair, I think we also need to add polyHERSter and polyTHEIRSter to the dictionary. 😀

Oh, I took a deep-ish dive with this one and learned so much already! These are only the most common examples - enjoy! If anyone else wants to be tagged, let me know 🤓♥️ #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

This is one I figured out from context clues but I enjoy the definition - "a violent expression"

So I‘m not fond of the smell of manure 😑, BUT I do love the smell of dirt, earth, and grass… *sigh* #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

A late night #weirdwordwednesday. A malaphor, or a mixed idiom is when two idioms are mixed with a comic result. They remind me of malapropisms. I meant to come up with a few of my own but didn‘t have much creative energy. Has anyone got any other funny ones? #weirdwords @CBee

Still riding on my mythology high after reading A Thousand Ships, apparently 😂😂 So here is my #weirdwordwednesday choice and even better, an article with examples of katabases (I believe that‘s the plural). Does anybody else want to slap Orpheus? Dude had one job and he screwed it up 🤦‍♀️😂🤔🤭🫣 https://www.thecollector.com/mortals-underworld-katabasis-greek-roman-mythology/

2.5/5⭐ There's very little connective tissue to the story. Often an entire chapter goes onto a tangent into a side character's full history or Botswanan history/culture. The main plot doesn't make its presence known until 2/3 of the way through, and even then there's no sense of urgency or conflict/difficulty and it's distracted from with sideplots. I like the main character but there was never a hook for me. #roll100

There‘s a word for everything! Even a word for things that aren‘t words.
