Being a wordynerdy writer is wordplay fun. I remember my upper elementary years. My teacher told the class to have a dictionary nearby while reading. That was a boring idea but I bought the dictionary. I learned soon enough that I needed the book to enhance my vocabulary. Years later, I still love learning new words and was excited when Leigh Anne Eck invited Two Writing Teacher writers to her March 2024 SlicerParty with its theme, Word Buffet.
I responded to Leigh Anne with five interesting words for her word buffet. You can see the five words I sent her for the party here. Today, I found a list of weird words and chose 6 to send to Leigh Anne as party favors.
Can you guess the meaning of the underlined words? Check out the parade.com link here. Have fun expanding your lexicon with some of the weird/not-so-common words.
Love these words, Carol. I have been known to lollygag. I've been called a young whippersnapper, and sometimes my approach to things has been lackadaisical. Bob
ReplyDeleteBob, as always, I love your humor. I love to lollygag when it suits my mood. Thanks for joining me here. I just got your SJT email and I think the theme/topic you chose is just what is needed at this time of year.
DeleteGreat words, Carol. You stumped me with kennebaker! I had to look it up.
ReplyDeleteRamona, it's fun trying to figure out the meaning of words that are unfamiliar. I remember telling the students to try to figure out the meaning in context. I purposely used the word kennebaker in the above sententence to see if anyone could determine the meaning.
