Wordish Wednesdays - Wednesday word of the day
We have FRIDAY night lights for the thrill of it and THURSDAY grumps for the chill of it, TUESDAY new tool day too. Who left out lonely Wednesday with nothing to do?
I declare a word war, if this is popular we keep it otherwise brickbats.
First, I need a moderator and victims every Wednesday. Moderators help maintain peace and guides our game.
THE GAME: Post a complete sentence including some bicycle content and a difficult, obscure or often misused word such as "concomitant". Help raise our collective ability to read the New York Times. Break on thru to the other side.
Self appointed moderator(s) will comment. The "game" lasts on full day with OZ and NZ getting a 1/2 day hallpass/jumpstart.
See you next Wednesday and feel free to declare yourself in charge....sukah

Welcome to Wordish Wednesdays. Todays words are beautiful sounding and elegant when spoken. Choose your own word or use one that has been used today in a complete sentence that includes bicycle content.
Loquacious
lo·qua·cious
lōˈkwāSHəs/
adjective
We all laughed hysterically after the worst section of Ballers Ride subsequent to a couple of unfortunate flats where Darren's normally loquacious manner was utterly absent. ha ha.

I learned that word from Mad Magazine:
teacher: "Joshua, use 'loquacious' in a sentence!"
little boy: "She bumped into me, so I told her to loquacious going!"
Next.
GO!

My great grandfather fled to Ankara Turkey, an area not conducive to cycling, as a part of the Crimean Tatar diaspora in the late 19th century.

my stepfather followed a competition that each year sought to come up with a new word by the changing of a single letter of one already in the dictionary- this one stayed in my memory

Re: Wordish Wednesdays - Wednesday word of the day
"dendrite" - branched, arborescent extension of a neuron; so named for its tree-like structure. From the Greek δενδρίτης, meaning of or pertaining to a tree.
The dentrites clearly visible on Abdoujaparov's legs were a not so subtle indication of the source of his cycling prowess.

"The U.S. government’s role in the steady destabilization of El Salvador is not only directly pertinent to the question of Abrams’ suitability for his role, it is the subtext to a familiar piece of agitprop. Trump loves to stoke fear about immigrants, including many Salvadorans, who cross the southern border. Not only are the vast majority peaceful, they’re fleeing a violent political climate that we helped create."
ag·it·prop
/ˈajətˌpräp/
noun: agitprop; noun: agit-prop
"political (originally communist) propaganda, especially in art or literature."
source: Criminal Shocked When Congresswoman Says His Crimes Out Loud
i don't know why i'm reading that publication's site, but i'm impressed by their big little word.

(Gong) Use it in a sentence chief. Kudos for the pick up.

Re: Wordish Wednesdays - Wednesday word of the day
Not using furbizia in a sentence was itself an example of the concept...

Re: Wordish Wednesdays - Wednesday word of the day
So I amuse myself with Wordle and then like to look at the Wordlebot to see how well I guess.
Today my first guess was 'fecal' just so the bot response would be '"Solid choice."
I really need to get out more.
