Word of the day

Today's word is REDBRICK.

Redbrick [RED-brik] adjective

1: built of red brick

2: of, relating to, or being the British universities founded in the 19th or early 20th century

Example:
The one debate team brought four distinguished redbrick professors to face off against the other debate team of four renowned scholars from Oxford and Cambridge.

Did you know?
Although red brick is a perfectly innocent building material in America, the British usage of "redbrick" is often potentially uncomplimentary. "Redbrick" is a British coinage created to denote the universities which were newer and perhaps less prestigious than Oxford and Cambridge (and sometimes the ancient universities of Scotland). These newer universities tended to be constructed of red brick, rather than the stone used for Oxford and Cambridge, and were most often created in industrial cities such as Liverpool. Sometimes the term is also used to distinguish these universities from those built after World War II. Limited evidence suggests that "redbrick" may be developing an extended meaning of "lower-class" or "working class," but this is not yet established enough to merit a dictionary entry.

This is one of those words that just make ya go hmmmm in my opinion. Proof that there are a million words that are somewhat dull and boring. Again just my opinion and I might think or feel differently about this word if I were British lol. Anyway its been a nice day. It was warm and mostly sunny for a spring day in southeast Alaska. Work was work and the boss lady is leaving for a couple weeks...YEA! But as usual before she goes she has to assert her authority...what is it about those in that type of position that makes them do that? I made a superb roast in my new cookware from Pampered Chef and now I'm just relaxing and enjoying some flix on the computer. No not porn lol just some tv shows I enjoy watching sometimes. Hope y'all had a great Friday
