Word of the Day

Oh I haven't done one of these for a long time and so I think that before I sign off for the night and go off to slumberland I will give you a word for the day.

Aboulomania: pathological indecisiveness

Now I think I will go off to bed, maybe, but there are other things I could be doing, if I could decide what I wanted to do, but I really am tired, but my gut tells me that maybe I should be doing something constructive, but.............

Delope

DELOPE: to fire one's gun into the air in a duel

Taeniacide

I have been remiss in listing a word of the day. Here you go.

TAENIACIDE: killing of tapeworms

Something that you hope you NEVER have to do.

Zenzizenzizenzic

ZENZIZENZIZENZIC: Eighth power of a number

Allotriophagy

My children would say that my love of liverwurst and sweet pickle sandwiches with mayo falls under the definition of this word.

Eccoprotic

Word of the Day

I am starting a new tradition (we will see if I keep it up). I love words, the stranger the better. So, I thought that it would be a good idea to have a word of the day. They may sometimes be mundane words that you see all the time, or they may be something unusual. We will see. Your word for today is:

Nomophobia: the fear of being out of mobile phone contact.
