A funny little word.

Livid

This is a fun word to say, but I can't say that I have ever actually seen someone expressing this extreme emotion.

Sitzmark

I wonder if TAD or Annie made many sitzmarks while they were skiing a few weeks ago? They're both pretty good skiers, so I doubt it.

You can probably guess this word is of German origin, which piques my interest immediately. I also love that it is just what it sounds like. So fun!!

Nebbish

This word makes me laugh, it sounds so funny! Unfortunately, a nebbish is not something anyone would wish to be.

Safari

This word looks and sounds super cool. I like that it ends with an i.

Nomadic

I love the word "nomad", and I came across "nomadic" today so I decided to include it here. Doesn't it just sound cool?

Check out my other blog for an amazing little poem in which the word "nomadic" is used.

(it also means "zero")

Pertinent

Way fun to say! I also wanted to mention that I try to use interesting words with my students so their own vocabularies might expand somewhat for having known me. You should try it with your kids, it's fun.
