BookmarkTavern Oof, yeah, so many other examples we could use! 4d

Deblovestoread For some reason this word makes me think of Bedknobs and Broomsticks. I think it‘s in one of her spells. Much nicer vision. 😂 (edited) 4d

Also genuine, true blue, the real deal, and so on. I feel like it could describe the fab new governors, the new NYC mayor, the folks who flipped the script all over the country. Well done 🩵 🌊 💙 #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords
