My words today are taken from: Fever by Mary Beth Keane
1. cannulae - pl. A tube that can be inserted into the body, often for the delivery or removal of fluid or for the gathering of data.
2. imbroglio - An exrtemely confused, complicated, or embarrassing situation: "The Watergate imbroglio."
Hi Mary Ann,
ReplyDeleteCasters, is a word in everyday use, here in the UK ... although we spell it differently Castors.
A cannula is also something I am familiar with, although thankfully not personally, as I hate needles, blood and hospitals and here I am talking about a serious phobia!!
Inbroglio is a new word to me, but it is a great one to be able to throw into a conversation and watch peoples reaction!
Thanks for sharing your words,
Yvonne
Interesting - my bank uses cannulae in the drive through windows. It's similar to cannoli so maybe I can remember it.
ReplyDeleteFiction Books- Thanks! for commenting.
ReplyDeleteBermudaonion- It does remind you of cannoli.
