Word O' the Day

I mentioned my love of words and so I thought I would share some fun ones from time to time.

A friend and I used to send each other outrageously unusable words and our task was to try and work them into a conversation that day without looking like a total idiot. We'd use words like "miasma"and "galactophagous" so I suppose I have no right to complain about the weird looks I got. (I know I was supposed to link you to the definition of those words, but get used to it because I plan on being a lazy blogger.) :-P

Anyway, today's Word O' the Day is a personal favorite:


quiddity ~ n. The essence of something; literally, its whatness.

"The quiddity of that book could be described as irreverent with a touch of playfulness thrown in."

Cool, huh!

Now go use it! :-)~
