Word of the day
Word of the day Today's word is ORGULOUS. Orgulous [OR-gyuh-lus] adjective: proud, haughty Example: She was tired of the orgulous men she was meeting in the sports bar and decided to try a country western bar and see if she could find herself a cowboy and show him what a good ride was. Did you know? "In Troy, there lies the scene. From Isles of Greece / The princes orgulous, their high blood chaf'd, / Have to the port of Athens sent their ships." Thus Shakespeare began the Trojan War tale Troilus and Cressida, employing "orgulous," a colorful word first adopted in the 13th century from Anglo-French "orguillus." After the Bard's day, "orgulous" dropped from sight for 200 years; there is no record of its use until it was rejuvenated by the pens of Robert Southey and Sir Walter Scott in the early 1800s. Twentieth-century authors (including James Joyce and W.H. Auden) continued its renaissance, and it remains an elegant (if infrequent) choice for today's<b> writers. </font></b>Pretty tired tonight and I have a job interview in the morning so I think I'm off to get some sleep tonight. Hope y'all had a good Monday |
