U...is for
Following on again with Toni's A-Z, "a...is for" meme, this week's letter is U
U..is for uliginous.
Bet you've never heard that before.
I know I never have.
And if you have then all bets are off.
Uliginous, which I found in my dictionary, means>>>>
oozy, muddy, moist
damp, wet,
swampy.
and here's another swamp, just because I like the skeleton.
U...is for uliginous.

I like the way that sounds.
ReplyDeleteGreat word not sure I will ever use it.
ReplyDeleteMerle.....
I love learning new words! I'm going to try to use it & annoy all my friends! :-D x
ReplyDeleteNew one on me and it's not in our Random House dictionary either which is amazing. It's the type of word that rolls off the tongue so easily and I too love to find new words but not sure I would ever use this one. Well done, especially with that last pic.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I knew oligeanous (oily, greasy) but didn't know this one. It is wonderful to learn new things, even if I may never use it.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say I knew that one, but it was EC's oleaginous I knew. Alas, dear Oleaginous, I knew thee well. I would have picked Underpants. I just would've.
ReplyDeleteNow you've gone and made me learn something...
ReplyDeleteDelores; it does roll off the tongue quite well.
ReplyDeleteMerlesworld; I probably won't either.
Cassandra Louise; I'd like to see their faces as they all say "what? what?"
Mimsie; I think it depends on which dictionary you look in. It is in my old Concise English Dictionary, also in my Crossword Dictionary which is essentially a Thesaurus, but it isn't in my Oxford English dictionary.
Elephant's Child; I knew oligeanous too and I've never used it, but if I need it for a crossword it will be right there in my memory, just as uliginous now will be.
Murr Brewster; I'd planned on doing Underwear, but Delores covered that in her April A-Z.
Kymbo Whitford; then my work is done.
Hi River,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great word. I wonder whether I can squeeze that into a blog post?
:-)
Cheers

I love the skelly as well.
ReplyDeletePlasman; sure you can, think of someplace you've been where it is damp, muddy etc, you know, like England....ha ha.
ReplyDeleteThe Wicked Writer; that picture is now my desktop background.
New word alert. Ding ding.
ReplyDeleteManzanita; dictionaries do have their uses.
