morning my sister who works nights and gets off work at 6 30 am and i who doesn t and normally goes to work at 8 30 am went to the 50th annual kiwanis pancake festival at the pershing center in lincoln it started at 7 and we were there shortly after it really was a jentacular meal jentacular is an adjective that means pertaining to breakfast and comes from the latin jentare to breakfast i love that this word exists and even more that i will work it into my lexicon the tacular suffix reminds me of a use i ve been seeing with more frequency craptacular keep an eye out for this one i don t think we really need to encourage this portmanteau of crap and spectacular posted by daniel 11 03 2007 11 33 00 pm 2 comments monday october 22 2007 peerage put these five words in order of importance in the british hierarchy viscount marquis earl duke baron i think peerage is an interesting word to describe a ranking system it comes from latin par equal via french per so a word meaning equal groups five rankings answers below posted by daniel 10 22 2007 10 32 00 pm 0 comments peerage 2 i was going through my bedside dictionary webster s 7th new collegiate 1965 probably looking up naughty from naught nothing as my eyes are wont they caught notice of marquess or marquis it comes from middle french ultimately from marche march it means 1 a nobleman of hereditary rank in europe and japan and for our purposes 2 a member of the second grade of the peerage in great britain ranking below a duke and above an earl so the first bit is filled out which word is penultimate earl comes from old english eorl warrior nobleman akin to old norse jarl warrior nobleman it is defined only as a member of the third grade of the british peerage ranking below a marquess and above a viscount comes from latin vicecomes vice comes count comes from companion one of the imperial court from com ire to go it means as you would expect a member of the peerage in great britain ranking below an earl and above a baron baron is from old french of germanic origin akin to old high german baro freeman and to close things out duke is from latin ducere to lead posted by daniel 10 22 2007 08 38 00 pm 4 comments sunday september 16 2007 rugby in addition to the start of the american football season the international rugby board irb is staging the rugby world cup in france rugby is among my favorite sports to watch so i took advantage of the directv free preview weekend and then ordered setanta the station that carries rugby australian rules football and the various soccer leagues having watched a bunch of the six nations matches a couple years ago i am getting more familiar with the jargon my favorite from the commentators is the use of pace for speed mauger has the pace to get the try a try is rugby s touchdown and more literally so you have to touch the ball down just crossing the try line won t do it the competition between two teams is a test and like soccer it takes place on a pitch instead of out of bounds the ball is in touch and then there are the various masses of men the maul ruck and scrum a maul is when the player with the ball is stopped by the opponent but not tackled to the ground and then supported by a teammate the three players are now a maul and any players joining the maul cannot enter from the side or they will be penalised a ruck is when the player with the ball is tackled to the ground and must relinquish the ball opposing players lock above the ball and you have your ruck a scrum is when each teams 8 forwards lock and meet and one team s scrum half releases the ball into their half of the scrum where it is then kicked to the back labels rugby posted by daniel 9 16 2007 08 31 00 pm 1 comments thursday august 23 2007 homeward bound this morning at work i was laying out 23 boxes that were headed to grizzly flats ca for a convention and our it guy brent on his way through joked that i was setting up an obstacle course drawing on our common love of football i told him about a tv bit on brian urlacher s off season workout and some plyometrics where he was bounding up three foot steps one leg at a time this brought bound to my mind like fast and cleave it is a word that carries opposite meanings within itself this morning i was only thinking of the past tense of bind and to move with energy but tonight with my nightcap ala mode ivanna cone and their dictionary i was reminded of the directional and border senses the etymology i want to hone in on is that of the directional sense oed bound adj orig boun me old norse buinn pa pple of bua prepare d partly euphonic partly infl by next cf boun verb 1 ready prepared attired me m19 2 ready to start or having set out for on to moving in a specified direction lme 3 about to do going to do north m19 what i love about the word s history is that is keeps getting bigger increasingly attired if you will it started as bua then added some letters in its past participle form i don t know if there was an english form of bua or if they just borrowed buinn but it seems that we only like the completed form of prepare which says something about our culture in other news tonight in the aforementioned perusal of ivanna cone s dictionary i came to the realization that arabesque means arab like i don t know how that flew under my radar previously but it did in my other blog i m

plaque on the wall with names of donors grouped according to the amount of donation it has been my experience that the pr fundraising department tries to have the levels of donation relate to the organization i didn t notice or pay attention to the lower levels but the top donation level was proscenium if i d seen this word before i still didn t know what it meant proscenium 1 a classical

to meat you i m sorry that it has been over two months since i posted something new here the other day i got three different word a day emails that mentioned meat fricassee gallimaufry and offal fricassee probably comes from french for to fry and to break up shake gallimaufry now means hodge podge or jumble but the french is a ragout or sauce i like bartleby com s allusion to a wide open

english patient for the first time last week there is a scene where ralph fiennes character points to the nook in his lover s neck where the collar bones join and declares that he owns it whatever it is called i ve always appreciated that part of the anatomy too so i was prompted to ask my student worker who is a nursing student and was taking a p at the time what it was called i heard mandibulum but she s a mumbler so i don t doubt that she was correct in saying manubrium i guess technically the spot i m thinking of is the presternal notch bartleby com says that it comes from latin for handle

their word from old provencal for street i think this is telling of french culture when they take a word for street and turn it into racecourse not the safest drivers are we this alters the meaning of career track a bit too but i don t think it is much of a stretch to say that a career is a race toward what i don t know job ultimately comes from the word for a bite after that it came from middle english for lump i feel it is fitting that job is linked to eating what we will do to put food in our mouths not being much of a racer myself i m still waiting for my vocation while doing my job
