Big Word Wednesday-Week 6
Some days, the hamsters just rebel. Today is one of those days. I must have forgotten to feed them yesterday because every time I try to load a page, the little wheel keeps spinning, and spinning, and spinning…. I’ll teach them, though. I’ll upgrade to gerbils and set the hamsters loose in the backyard; let them fight it out with the squirrels for third-of-an-acre supremacy. Seriously, I mean, what the DELL is going on here? I could call tech support, but then I’d have to watch 5 hours of The Simpsons just to get the right Calcutta dialect down. I don’t have time for that. Oh well, I’ll try.
Our words this week are tasty. Tasty as in they could be the names of a meat sauce (salubrious) and a dessert topping (magniloquent) respectively. “I’ll have the pork chops in salubrious sauce please. Does that come with a salad? And I’m saving room for that delicious looking carrot cake with magniloquent icing for dessert.” OK, maybe food is a stretch, but they sound good!
Our first word this week is salubrious-meaning favorable to or promoting health; healthful. I still think it could give A-1 sauce a run for it’s money, but that’s just me. Word number two is magniloquent-meaning speaking or expressed in a lofty or grandiose style; pompous; bombastic; boastful. Kinda sounds like Kanye West. But, if he wants to wear sunglasses that look like the back window louvre from a 1978 Trans Am, who am I to judge? Remember to catch up on all of our words on the BWW page. Now go out there and sound over-intelligent!
Them’s big words, again. Sigh. I’m so ignorant. Hey… thanks for the shoutout yesterday. I didn’t deserve that! haha. You are too kind.
(NukeDad) That’s why we’re doing it! So we can learn some big words too! No thanks necessary.
