Hey guys!
I've been looking at one of my new favorite nerd websites, The Phrontistery, and I found that it has lists of archaic and odd words organized by letter.
YES!
As you have probably noted in my posts, I love odd and weird words and random nerdy/techy/design oriented things and this website is just going to feed the geeky frenzy that is my brain.
Anyway the "E" section of this website seemed especially interesting, since I really don't think that people use that many "E" words. Other that "exciting" and "easy". And "exciting" isn't all that interesting of a word. Whilst I was searching I found this word; esculent. It means "edible" or "fit for consumption." Doesn't it sound awesome!? I mean, it's exceedingly more fun to say than "yummy". Take this brief exchange with my mother, for example:
Mom: Here, try this cupcake!
Me: Okay. *Noms cupcake*
Mom: Soooo, how do you like it?
Me: It's most exceedingly esculent!
Mom: Why do I even bother?
Yeah, I'm a pretty weird child. I blame this video.
Anyway, I better stop talking. As some wise person once said: "Better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
And thus concludes this word of the day Wednesday.
May all your meals be esculent,
Josh.

((PSS, YES, I know this is posted on thursday, but better late then never. Right? No? Okay...))

While you were looking up "esculent" I ate all the rest of said cupcakes. Mwa Ha Ha!!!
I think that video has ruined me as well. Alas.
My favourite word... hmmm. I enjoy 'carnage'. I also like 'embassering', which isn't really a word but is more fun to say than embarrassing.
