We need to bring that word back into use.
Jonathan, I put it in my word book, too. I plan to use it all winter. ;-) xo
Erin, I know, right??? We need to all start using it and make people have to look it up and be awed by it. I think it's an awesome word. xo
Kelly, for sure. I used it twice yesterday. I had to tell Ray what it meant because he won't use the dictionary. Ha! xo
