chyron: (noun) an electronically generated caption superimposed on a television or cinema screen

#WeirdWords #WeirdWordWednesday

CBee Oh! I wonder if it‘s Greek in origin. It sounds similar to the centaur Chiron and the ferryman Charon 🤔 4d
Daisey @CBee It actually lists the origin as a company that created it on the dictionary entry. 3d
CBee @Daisey right, I saw that. Just wondered if the word has a further origin besides the corporation name 🤷‍♀️ 3d

I took this picture in the Wigan North Western railway station when I was visiting last week! There was a whole alphabet of phrases, and I wish I had had the time to take pictures of all of them!

I chose the word “tintinnabulation.” It was a spelling word I had as a 4th grader and it stuck with me ever since—I don‘t know why! 🤷‍♀️I seriously doubt it was in a 4th grade spelling textbook! 😂
#WeirdWordWednesday

CBee Oh my, in 4th grade??? Wow! I can see why it stuck with you. Thanks for sharing 💚 Would you like me to add you to my tag list? 4d
CindyMyLifeIsLit @CBee Sure, that would be great! ❤️ 4d
Daisey Great word! 4d
CBee @CindyMyLifeIsLit will do 😊 4d

Hmmm ... wonder if our current government is doing anything like this these days? Actually, come to think of it, I don't think they even care to keep us entertained while they do heinous things; nowadays, they just blatantly do it. #ranttime

CBee They don‘t give a shit about anyone‘s “entertainment” but their own 😡 4d
dabbe @CBee Couldn't have said it better! 🩵🎯🩵 4d
lil1inblue Excellent allusion this week! I don't think they care anymore if the circus is entertaining, so long as it is distracting. So they can do even more heinous things while we're busy. 3d
dabbe @lil1inblue “Distracting“ explains it perfectly! 🩵🎯🩵 3d

I decided to keep it light for #weirdwordwednesday. So, instead of trying to explain how socialism and communism are not the same thing (😅), I present the echidna. Because, in this horrible dumpster fire we are currently living in, who doesn‘t want to look at and learn about cute, unique animals? 😁

CBee Look up echidna babies/puggles. You can thank me later 😍 #weirdwords 4d

dabbe I want a golem as a protector! Mine would probably turn into a destructive one, though ... like Gollum in LOTR. 🩵💙🩵 3w

CatLass007 I just finished the first three books of the Black Hat Bureau series, in which one of the main characters is a golem. Fun books! 3w
AlaMich This is a great novel with a golem as the MC. 3w
CBee @dabbe hahaha mine probably would too. I‘d rather some Heinzelmännchen: https://germangirlinamerica.com/heinzelmannchen-the-elves-of-cologne/ 3w
CBee @AlaMich I‘ve heard that‘s a good one! 3w
CBee @JenniferEgnor one that wreaks havoc, I see 🫣🫣 3w
CBee @CatLass007 cool! 3w
dabbe @CBee @CBee Oh, yes please! How adorable! 🩵💙🩵 3w
CatLass007 There was an episode of the X-Files that featured a golem. But when Dana Scully was narrating, she called it a gollum. 3w
AnnCrystal 🆒☺️👍🏼💝. 3w
StaceGhost I just saw a really cool seminar about golems in folklore! Love all the new books with golems coming out 2w
CBee @CatLass007 I think the pronunciation is similar? I can see how one would pronounce it gollum. I‘m too much of an LOTR fan to make that mistake 😂🤓 2w
CBee @StaceGhost that sounds awesome! 2w
