I love learning new words, don't you?
Post a word that you know that isn't in common use because it's old-fashioned, or technical language or maybe it's in a local dialect, so we can all learn some new words today.
Here's one I read in a book yesterday;
'Surquedry' - an overwhelming pride or arrogance.
Over to you. |

I would say learned but I've already forgotten the actual word itself. Discovered a word in a technical document that I didn't understand and had to Google, because context didn't help. Note to engineers: don't write using words that nobody has ever used in normal conversation 😅

Wabi-sabi. I was talking to a friend about the various concepts that we've adopted, used to market. Like hygge. That was all the rage a couple of years ago. Anyway, they brought up the concept of wabi sabi - finding beauty in things even if they don't last, accepting things as they are.
It's two words but it's beautiful. |

"Kerfuffle… I remember hearing it in my younger years … but not anymore
I use that a lot 😂"
Haha well I need to hear it more… so if you could randomly just write it from time to time on here I’d be eternally grateful 😋 |
