State University's Word Warriors program has released its 2024 list of
extremely cool words, and they are a feast for the brain. The program
highlights delightful, oddly applicable words that have been lost to
time and definitely deserve a renaissance. Among this year's shortlist
are:
- curglaff (n): the shock when one plunges into cold water
- rawgabbit (n): a person who speaks confidently but ignorantly
- thunderplump (n): a heavy lashing of rain during a rainstorm
They actually seem so accurate if you think about it. Of course that's what a rawgabbit is!
Read some other highlights from the list here.
Rain
When I came into the office this morning, as I raised the shade I saw that it had rained. You see we don't get much rain, though we need it badly. Yesterday I saw that the weatherman said possible showers, which usually means a very slight maybe?
The green plants are greener. And on a closer look you might notice drops hanging from leaves? I think it looks like they are wearing (for a vert short time) jewelry? I took this picture so you could agree?
Just because ...

Love the droplets on your beautiful plants, Jacki. You used the same green of the leaves in your great collage. It got my attention on the first sight. Maybe it's the combination with the red/orange and the bright blue? Worries is the perfect title.
Thanks so much, Elenor. I am glad that you like the collage. Have a great week.
Words, jewels, and bad hare day. Sigh, what could be a more delightful way to start the day?
Oh wow, thanks Rad Nana! Your opinion is dear to me and I appreciate any time you have to write. ;o)
Lovely! It kind of reminds me of Irene. Love that you included a portrait portion to the abstraction. :-)
Thanks so much, John. Sometimes I accidentally make a good decision?
