Word of the Day

Not the entire quote, no, but reading “flumsical” immediately brought Eric Blore’s “whumsical” to mind. I tried to find a clip of the relevant scene but couldn’t, so I was pleased to see that the whole movie was there and I could link to the relevant time stamp. I like that it provides some appropriate context before the quote hits.

Which :ring:? :boxing_glove:? I added :speaking_head::green_salad: to my status, if that counts for anything. :man_shrugging:

It actually is, especially when I hear Carly Simon’s voice singing it in my head.

It is disarmingly temperate here today. It is so darn pretty and mild.

Hey I was involved in both of those words recently! :heart_eyes: I used one and inspired the other.

Grammarly tells me weekly that I use more unique words every week than 99% of people. :slight_smile: and I’m in the top 10% of productivity… Probably because I yap in here too much with long posts :rofl: But apparently my grammar/spelling accuracy sucks. :joy:

Yeah, the word also made me think of mercury fulminate, an explosive, which may have had something to do with reminding me of what the full man ate. It also made me think of…

fulminant

…which I tend to associate with disease states, as in fulminant hepatitis.

I know a registry nurse who worked the critical wards in the early 90s with plenty of stories about explosions. She said I was the only person who ever asked her ‘What’s it like to be a nurse’ and then listened. :slight_smile:
