I meant to post this yesterday, but forgot, so I'll just have it as my word today:

Word of the day: Dunderhead.
Meaning: Idiot, simpleton.
Reason: It's a funny word and a great insult.
Ghosts, flamingos, guitars and vodka. Eclectic subjects, eccentric stories:

Humorous guide & Recommended Read =^.^= How To Make a Cup of Tea
A flash fiction series :) A Random Moment in Time
Editors' Pick! :D I Am The Deep, Dark Woods
And another EP!: The Fragility of Age

Practise - the verb form of the word practice.

Commonly used in U.K., Ireland, South Africa, Australia, and Canada, but not generally in the U.S.
"Them ain't no militia, that's the Army of the Potomac!"
Equivocation - the use of ambiguous language to conceal the truth or to avoid committing oneself.

Often times seems to be the most common form of communication in the world, especially in advertising and politics.
You can't get there from here, because when you get there you're still here and here is now there.
Jashinism- Ancient Japanese religion to be believed of a Lord called Jashin. The followers looked to Jashin for light, when they have hit a dark and gloomy part of their life. For him to do so, the followers would have to give him blood in return.

Reason this is my word today because I have met someone that actually is into the religion. Those who seen Naruto would know there is a character in it name Hidan that worships him. Just so you now, it is actually a religion.

Dodecahedron: In geometry, a dodecahedron is any polyhedron with twelve flat faces. The most familiar dodecahedron is the regular dodecahedron, which is a Platonic solid.

Simply is word of the day because I like the way it sounds and the shape of the word.

This is what keeps me humble, curious and hopeful.

Misapprehension
ˌmisˌaprəˈhen(t)SH(ə)n/
noun
a mistaken belief about or interpretation of something.

Because well I know someone that does.
Verisimilitude
Interpolate - (verb) to derive, estimate or or deduce from given values. Such as in mathematical sequences.
"Them ain't no militia, that's the Army of the Potomac!"
jovial - cheerful and friendly


I know I am. Who else?
Kusotare : Japanese highest and most offensive way to call someone a bastard. So it goes yarou, hiretsukan, and lastly kusotare.

Reason for my word of the day, my little sis taught it to me today. Yay
Her courage was her crown and she wore it like a queen -Atticus
scabulous

adj - Proud of a scar on your body, an autograph signed to you by a world grateful for your continued willingness to play with her, even when you don’t feel like it.

This is important to me because I have scars, physical, mental and emotional, that bring back good and bad memories that are significant in my life; like a road map of who I was and how I got to where I am now.
You can't get there from here, because when you get there you're still here and here is now there.
Synchronicity:

Quote by Wikipedia
a concept, first explained by psychiatrist Carl Jung, which holds that events are "meaningful coincidences" if they occur with no causal relationship, yet seem to be meaningfully related


It's a concept that I very much believe in, and find it fascinating. An example of synchronicity, is a couple of weeks ago, I had the word "verisimilitude" in my head, I go to type this WotD today, and when scrolling through, I see that Alys has made verisimilitude her WotD a couple of weeks ago. Also, just say "synchronicity", it's great! It has a nice feel to it.
