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:

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.

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

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.

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.
