Word for Wednesday

So, I'm sure that by now, you know I am a word nerd. I'm sure you won't be surprised to know that I love the NPR program about the origin of words, it's called "A Way With Words." Somehow it seems like I always miss the live broadcast, so I am so excited there is a podcast of the program.

Are you a fan of this program? If you like words, I high recommend it! You can read all about it here and even hear past episodes!

Also, check here to see some of the new words added to the dictionary this year!

Enjoy!

Word for Wednesday

Today's word is a phrase biblioclasm. I can't remember where I first heard this word. Biblioclasm is the practice of destroying books or other written materials and media.

I love books and think biblioclasm should be a crime!

Today's word is a leptosome. This is a word I learned from a copywriter I work with regularly. Leptosome is an adjective that means a person who is slendar, thin or frail.

Have you noticed how many leptosome people we work with? (this was followed by big laughter) We don't work with any leptosome people.

Today's word is "acersecomic" and it means, one whose hair has never been cut. This is a word I learned from an office friend! "Acersecomic" is something a coworker said when we were talking about her little boy getting his first haircut.

I hope Logan doesn't freak out at the salon this weekend since he's acersecomic.

Eco Monday: Custom Wedding Clutch

Here's a sneak peek at a custom wedding clutch that I recently finished. The outside is made of woven Reader's Digest pages and the inside is lined with marbelized cotton fabric.

I love the way it turned out and so does the bride to be! :)
