My words today are taken from the book: Seduction by M.J. Rose
1.gibbous- more than half but less than fully illuminated. Used of a moon or a planet.
2. esoteric- intended for or understood by only a particular group, cult.
3. civet-a small, lithe-bodied, mostly nocturnal mammal.
Ah, esoteric. I often felt you had to be in a club to understand the word. I was right! Sort of. I know gibbous now thanks to my kids' science classes!
ReplyDeleteI've seen gibbous before but couldn't remember the definition. I need to use it so it will stick with me.
ReplyDeleteAmbergris? How do you say that am-ber-grease? I'm off to look it up. I think that's right.
ReplyDeleteJulia- Glad they were familiar.
ReplyDeleteBermudaonion- I know they are words you don't use everyday.
Deb- I think so to.
