Dictionary.com word of the day for Jan 1, 2008
I get the word of the day sent to my email- here's today's (how cute/darling/fitting, since it's american gothic times and all):
Word of the Day for Tuesday, January 1, 2008 Zeitgeist \TSYT-guyst; ZYT-guyst\, noun: [Often capitalized] The spirit of the time; the general intellectual and moral state or temper characteristic of any period of time. The best writers of that predawn era were originals who had the zeitgeist by the tail. -- Gary Giddins, Visions of Jazz: The First Century As most critics and all professors of cultural theory note, Madonna is nothing if not a skilled reader of the zeitgeist. -- "Techno 'rave' just the same old Madonna", Chicago Sun-Times, March 3, 1998 Besides, the zeitgeist seems to be working against any hope of Hormel officials to limit...the usage of [the word] 'spam' on the Web. -- Gracious Concession on Internet 'Spam', New York Times, August 17, 1998 Like other figures who seem, in retrospect, to have been precociously representative of their times, Kerouac was not simply responding to the Zeitgeist, but to the peculiarly twisted facts of his own upbringing. -- Jack Kerouac: The Beat Goes On, New York Times, December 30, 1979 Zeitgeist is from the German: Zeit, "time" + Geist, "spirit."

today's word of the day isn't that great.
faineant \fay-nay-AWN\, adjective: 1. Doing nothing or given to doing nothing; idle; lazy. 2. A do-nothing; an idle fellow; a sluggard. Yet if nonhunters ever knew how many properly dressed, entirely palatable big-game carcasses wind up in dumpsters because someone was simply too faineant to butcher and cook and eat an animal he could find the time and energy to shoot and kill, hunting would be in even greater jeopardy than it is today. -- Thomas McIntyre, "The meaning of meat", Sports Afield, August 1, 1997 |
