ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading the words. :)
ReplyDeleteI have heard the word, but would have had to look up the meaning if came across it again. I don't have any this week. :-(

I'm always really proud of myself when I know all of the words someone posts for this. I mean, that is only two words, but still, I take my wins when I can get 'em. ;)
