Now, I’m not some brainiac who knows everything… but I do like words.
Words will catch my eye in a blog or magazine article or whatever. I’ll tuck it away for later use…you know, to impress the boss (because I have to) or scare little children (because I like to).
Sometimes that “tuck it away” gets a little too tucked.
I found myself, one day, with the word ‘perspicacious’ rattling around my head. And it kept coming back to me over and over, throughout the day. I kept thinking, “I should know this. Why don’t I know this?” Finding no chance to hit the dictionary, I was left with continued interruptions on my thinking – – perspicacious… perspicacious… perspicacious…
I finally did get to a dictionary at the end of the day and found:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
per – spi – ca – cious [pur-spi-key-shuhs], adjective
- acutely insightful and wise
- mentally acute or penetratingly discerning
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yep, that was sure me all day long, perspicacious… NOT! [shaking my head].
How ironic…
