Today's word is INDISSOLUBLE.
Indissoluble [in-dih-SAHL-yuh-bul] adjective: incapable of being dissolved or disintegrated; especially: incapable of being annulled, undone, or broken: permanent
Example:
I wonder if people would get married so easily and willy nilly if marriage was truly indissoluble?
Did you know?
"Indissoluble" entered the English language close on the heels of its antonym "dissoluble" ("capable of being dissolved"). "Dissoluble" (from Latin "dissolubilis") first appeared in print in 1534, and "indissoluble" (with its "in-" prefix) followed in 1542. "Dissolubilis" derives from "dissolvere" ("to loosen" or "to dissolve"), which in turn comes from "dis-" ("apart") and "solvere" ("to loosen"). Not surprisingly, "dissolvere" is also the source of "dissolve" and "dissolvable," among other words. Is there an "indissolvable"? Yes and no. It exists, but it is archaic and rare. The word most likely to be used for things that cannot be dissolved in a liquid is "insoluble." "Indissoluble" generally refers to abstract entities, such as promises or treaties, that cannot be dissolved.
Wow its been one hell of a day. On top of the long week it sure is a good thing its Friday lol. But out of all the crappiness of the day I had two fantastic highlights! One I got to see a super close friend and hold her baby and he smiled and cooed at me. He loved it when I clicked my tongue at him and waved his arms and wiggled around and smiled real big. I love that boy! Love his momma too! Then shortly after I got home my man popped online and we hung out and chatted for a while. Haven't gotten to do that in a long time. It was a super nice way to end the day. Got my shirt as cut up as its gonna get with my skills lol and now I'm gonna go watch some comedy on the Flix place on the net. Hope y'all had a super freaky Friday

Today's word is DOXOLOGY.
Doxology [dahk-SAH-luh-jee] noun: a usually liturgical expression of praise to God
Example:
After church services we typically end with the congregation singing a short doxology.
Did you know?
"Doxology" passed into English from Medieval Latin "doxologia," which in turn comes from the Greek term "doxa," meaning "opinion" or "glory," and the suffix "-logia," which refers to oral or written expression. It's logical enough, therefore, that "doxology" has referred to an oral expression of praise and glorification since it first appeared in English around 1645. The word ultimately derives from the Greek verb "dokein," meaning "to seem" or "to seem good." Two cousins of "doxology" via "dokein" are "dogma" and "paradox." More distant relatives include "decent" and "synecdoche." The Gloria in Excelsis and the Gloria Patri are two of the best-known and most often sung doxologies in contemporary Christianity.
Interesting word. Its been raining all day. Not just raining but pissing actually. Been a long week and I'm headed for some sleep. Hope y'all had a fanfreakintastic day

Today's word is CONVALESCE.
Convalesce [kahn-vuh-LESS] verb: to recover health and strength gradually after sickness or weakness
Example:
According to the article, the athlete is still convalescing from her recent injury but expects to resume her training schedule by the end of the month.
Did you know?
When you convalesce, you heal or grow strong after illness or injury, often by staying off your feet. (The related adjective "convalescent" means "recovering from sickness or debility," and a "convalescent home" is a hospital for long-term recuperation and rehabilitation.) The word "convalesce" derives from Latin, from the prefix "com-" ("with, together, jointly") and the verb "valescere" ("to grow strong"). "Valescere," in turn, is related to the verb "valēre" ("to be strong or be well"), which is also an ancestor of "prevail," "valor," "value," and "valid."
Talking to my on the phone but didn't want to forget to post. Got caught up in a meeting last night and never made it here to post, sorry bout that...hope y'all had a great hump day

Today's word is GEST.
Gest [JEST] noun
1: a tale of adventures; especially: a romance in verse
2: adventure, exploit
Example:
I daydream about traveling to various places and lately it seems I have moved on to grander schemes and dream of one day the ultimate gest, traveling all over the British Isles and Europe taking a year or two to do so.
Did you know?
"Let the Queen know of our gests," Antony instructs his men after a hard-won victory on the battlefield in Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra." Great deeds and heroic acts have been the stuff of gests since medieval days; in fact, the word is more often associated with knights and heroes of old than with modern adventurers. We may not be hearing about many 21st century "gests," but we do frequently encounter other relatives of the word. "Gest" traces to Latin "gestus," the past participle of the verb "gerere," which means "to wage," "to bear," or "to carry," among other things. That Latin verb gave us stoutly enduring words like "gesture," "ingest," "jest," "register," and "suggest."
It's been a long day and I'm sorta wore out. I need to practice my falls still before bed so I can be ready for practice tomorrow. Hope y'all had a great day

Today's word is HACKNEYED.
Hackneyed [HAK-need] adjective: lacking in freshness or originality
Example:
Its a good thing he was so fucking hot because his pick-up lines were used up and hackneyed and he was lacking in charm, but still the ladies followed him to bed leaving behind them a trail of clothing to find their way back out when the sweating, grunting, and moaning were over.
Did you know?
"Hackney" entered the English language in the 14th century as a noun. Some think perhaps it came from "Hakeneye" (now "Hackney"), the name of a town (now a borough) in England. Others dispute this explanation, pointing to similar forms in other European languages. The noun "hackney," in any case, refers to a suitable for ordinary riding or driving—as opposed to one used as a draft animal or a war charger. When "hackney" was first used as a verb in the late 16th century, it often meant "to make common or frequent use of." Later, it meant "to make trite, vulgar, or commonplace." The adjective "hackneyed" began to be used in the 18th century and now is a common synonym for "trite."
This weekend was absolutely gorgeous here! Walked at the lake yesterday with my kiddo and enjoyed some quality time with him talking and getting to know him even more. I love my boy, he's a pretty cool . Today cleaned the old truck inside and out. She's pretty sparkly...well maybe not but if she had a soul it would be! My old girl doesn't sparkle anymore lol, she's a bit old and needs a good striping down and waxing to shine again. Anyway its been a long day outside working hard to make her look her best and now I'm ready for bed. Hope y'all had a fabulous weekend!

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

Today's word is BOULEVARDIER.
Boulevardier [bull-uh-vahr-DYAY] noun: a frequenter of the Parisian boulevards; broadly: man-about-town
Example:
I loved Paris and if I lived there I can totally see myself being a boulevardier.
Did you know?
The first boulevardiers got their name from the thoroughfares they frequented: the typically straight and geometrically precise boulevards of Paris. These particular men must have cut an impressive figure because the word "boulevardier" was eventually applied to any worldly and socially active man. Unlike many near-synonyms, "boulevardier" is generally a complimentary term. It differs from "flaneur" in that the latter refers to someone who is idle, and it doesn't imply the same vanity and foolishness that words like "fop," "dandy," and "coxcomb" do.
This word gives off a certain air, like snootiness sorta. But I did totally love Paris and would love to go back some day and spend more time there. 2.5 days was just NOT enough time. Would love to just immerse myself in the language and culture and the rich long history. The architecture was amazing and the buildings were so beautiful. Ok I'll stop, its just making me want to go back lol. Had an ok day. Stupid allergies and sinuses are all yucky and my head has been hurting most of the day. But practice was good. Remembered not to watch my feet or the floor in front of me and even coach was like hey look at you looking at me and not the floor...way cool! Hope y'all had a great Thursday

Today's word is AMBIDEXTROUS.
Ambidextrous [am-bih-DEK-strus] adjective
1: capable of using both hands with equal ease
2: unusually skillful: versatile
3: characterized by duplicity: double-dealing
Example:
He jacked off all the time, and being ambidextrous he could switch from his left to right hands never wearing his hands out.
Did you know?
Latin "dexter" originally meant "related to or situated on the right side," but since most people do things better with the right hand, "dexter" developed the sense of "skillful" (as demonstrated by our word "dexterous"). In 1646, English physician and author Sir Thomas Browne combined "dexter" with the Latin prefix "ambi-" (meaning "both") in the first documented use of "ambidextrous": "Some are . . . ambidextrous or right-handed on both sides." The word can now describe the kind of physical or mental agility demonstrated by one with multiple diverse talents.
I love this word! Its not only fun to say but its just a plain cool ass word. Ok so its late and I'm barely making this by midnight sooooo hope y'all had a fanfreakintastic hump day!

Today's word is PROVENIENCE.
Provenience [pruh-VEE-nee-unss] noun: origin, source
Example:
The provenience of the bombs in Boston are still a mystery but as they gather more clues they will catch the sick fucks that did it.
Did you know?
Did you suspect that "provenience" and "provenance" originate from the same source? You're right; they're parent and . "Provenance" is the older of the two. It has been used to mean "origin" in English since at least the 1780s, and it is modeled on the French verb "provenir," meaning "to come forth, originate." The French word, in turn, derives from Latin "provenire," a composite of "pro-" (meaning "forth") and "venire" (meaning "come"). "Provenience" is a chip off the old block, originating as a modification of "provenance" about 100 years after its parent debuted in English texts. The source of the extra syllable in "provenience" is most likely "proveniens," a participle of "provenire" (the similar Latin participle "conveniens" gave us "convenience," another "venire" derivative).
Ok sorry I got a little bit um...not even sure what I got with that example. But I think and feel the whole thing is hideous and one of the most horrible acts of terrorism that could be done. I have a lot to do and its late so I'm gonna say hope y'all had a great Tied up Tuesday Oh and I skated pretty good tonight after I was reminded to NOT look at my feet or the ground...eyes up

Today's word is BALNEOLOGY.
Belneology [bal-nee-AH-luh-jee] noun: the science of the therapeutic use of baths
Example:
The most common use of balneology is in spas as a means of treating injured muscles.
Did you know?
"Sure, the hot water feels good. Sure, the massage is nice. But it goes beyond that, advocates say." So wrote Ellen Creager in an article published on February 18, 2001 in the Detroit Free Press. The healing powers of mineral baths have long been touted by advocates like those mentioned by Creager. Though we've had the word "balneology" for just over 130 years, this method of treating aching muscles, joint pain, and skin ailments goes back to ancient times. Proponents of the science of bath therapy created the name "balneology" from the Latin word "balneum" ("bath") and the combining form "-logy" ("science"). Today, some medical institutes in Europe have departments of balneology. Modern "balneologists" impart their knowledge to, or themselves serve as, "balneotherapists," who apply their "balneotherapy" to .
Interesting...I love baths! Cool word Had dinner tonight at a good friends house. Her ex aunt was there and holy shit that woman is a riot to say the least. She reminds me that it takes all kinds to make the world go round lol. Hope y'all had a good Monday

Today's word is OBVIATE.
Obviate [AHB-vee-ayt] verb: to anticipate and prevent (as a situation) or make unnecessary (as an action)
Example:
When preparing for a scene Master does his best to obviate any problems that may come along to keep me from being harmed.
Did you know?
"Obviate" derives from Late Latin "obviare" (meaning "to meet or withstand") and Latin "obviam," which means "in the way" and is also an ancestor of our adjective "obvious." "Obviate" has a number of synonyms in English, including "prevent," "preclude," and "avert"; all of these words can mean to hinder or stop something. When you prevent or preclude something, you put up an insurmountable obstacle. In addition, "preclude" often implies that a degree of chance was involved in stopping an event. "Obviate" generally suggests the use of intelligence or forethought to ward off trouble. "Avert" always implies that a bad situation has been anticipated and prevented or deflected by the application of immediate and effective means.
I really like this word. Its easy to use and I like saying it. Anyway it was a nice day here for the most part. Rained a few times but mostly just partly cloudy skies we had so there were people everywhere lol. I've realized over the years that you can never find anywhere secluded here with out running into someone on a nice day. Just not gonna happen, people get out and find anywhere they can when its nice out. But when for a nice long walk at the lake and that felt good! Gearing up for the week so its off to bed for me. Hope y'all had a fabulous Sunday

Today's word is FULIGINOUS.
Fuliginous [fyoo-LIG-uh-nus] adjective
1a: sooty
b: obscure, murky
2: having a dark or dusky color
Example:
You could always tell when her mood went to dark and sad things by her fuliginous writings in her blog.
Did you know?
"Fuliginous" is a word with a dark and dirty past—it derives from "fuligo," the Latin word for "soot." In an early sense (now obsolete), "fuliginous" was used to describe noxious bodily vapors once thought to be produced by organic processes. The "sooty" sense, which English speakers have been using since the early 1620s, can be used to describe everything from dense fogs and malevolent clouds to overworked chimney sweeps. "Fuliginous" can also be used to refer to something dark or dusky, as in Henry James' novel The Ambassadors, in which the character Waymarsh is described as having "dark fuliginous eyes."
Surprise I'm home and remembered to do a word before midnight...yea! So I hope everyone had a great day. Mine was nice. Practice sorta sucked but I'll get it some day lol. We also got to watch a bout between Japan and Alaska today which was pretty cool. Hopefully the weather holds and I can get out and walk in the sunshine tomorrow. Have a great night peeps

Today's word is LAUDABLE.
Laudable [LAW-duh-bul] adjective: worthy of praise: commendable
Example:
His attempts to win her affections were laudable and in the end she gave in and they became lovers and the best of friends.
Did you know?
Both "laudable" and "laudatory" derive ultimately from Latin "laud-" or "laus," meaning "praise." "Laudable" and "laudatory" differ in meaning, however, and usage commentators warn against using them interchangeably. "Laudable" means "deserving praise" or "praiseworthy," as in "laudable efforts to help the disadvantaged." "Laudatory" means "giving praise" or "expressing praise," as in "a laudatory book review." People occasionally use "laudatory" in place of "laudable," but this use is not considered standard.
Super glad its Friday! But my heart and soul are not in a good place. Sometimes life is hard and it sucks. There are lessons to be learned and if you're like me you learn things the hard way. I will never give up this journey and this fight and I want him to know that if he reads this...he knows who he is. I hope you have a great Friday night...I'm off to get some much needed sleep and maybe a nice cleansing cry...good night peeps.
