Word O’ Day

Welcome to WOD

The Bird is the Word

January 25th, 2009 | Category: Words O' Day

Hello there, and welcome to THE definitive Word O’ Day!

It’s nice of you to drop by. I hope you enjoyed all the change this past week. Obama’s pretty cool, and so is today’s WOD: Oleaginous.

Oleaginous is a French word derived from Latin. It’s pronounced oh-lee-aj-uh-nuhs. An adjective, it means – literally – of, covered with, or exuding oil. Figuratively, it means overly aggrandizing or complementary (much like a presidential candidate during a debate). See if you can determine which definition I used in the Usage!

If you like it then you should’ve put a Usage on it: Even though Ronald really did appreciate Henrietta’s efforts to repent, in his ever-childish disposition, he launched into an oleaginous diatribe full of blatantly exaggerated flattery and compliments, sending her out of the kitchen and into a cloudburst of potentially endless tears.

Poor Henrietta. What are they going to DO?

Love as always (to most, not all – I am nothing if not exclusive),

-Erock

    Did you know that the Japanese word for something really American is literally “Smells of Cheese?” It is!
