🌿 Word of the Week 🌿

ultracrepidarian
——————————
[ul-truh-krep-ih-DAIR-ee-uhn]
noun

Someone who gives opinions or advice on matters beyond their knowledge or expertise.

e.g. During a quiet tea tasting event, a shameless ultracrepidarian droned to Theo, “You’ve got to stir counter-clockwise or the tannins attack your spleen.” Theo nodded solemnly, and stirred in a cautious figure-of-eight.

🌿 Word of the Week 🌿

snirtle
——————————
[SNUR-tuhl]
_verb_ (informal, chiefly British)

To laugh quietly, often while trying to suppress it — a kind of snort-giggle.

e.g. Theo tried to keep a straight face as the quizmaster mispronounced “Worcestershire sauce” for the third time, but a snirtle — somewhere between a snort and a haunted accordion — escaped his lips. It was so prolonged, he had to pretend it was a cough to avoid the pointed glares.

[nok-tuh-LOO-suhnt]
adjective

Shining or glowing at night

🌿 Word of the Week 🌿

——————————
[AN-thuh-file]
noun

A person who loves flowers.

From the Greek anthos (flower) + philos (loving).

eg. Theo, ever the unapologetic anthophile, arrived at the old Kenton nudist beach wearing nothing but a smile and a strategically placed hibiscus.

🌿 Word of the Week 🌿

anemoia
——————————
[an-eh-MOY-ah]
noun

A sense of nostalgia for a time one has never known.

eg. Theo was struck by anemoia as Uncle Robert swanned into the shop, clad in bell bottoms and a polar neck. “Pop on the peace cauldron” he quipped. Of course he meant the kettle.
