which word is that today, for you? maybe your favorite word is still going strong? a buzzword or mantra? perhaps you learned a new word, or recognize the utility of one you overlooked? hung up on one? in another language? a word you wish everyone knew? a word that you notice people misuse?

possibilities for word of the day are endless.

(Feel free to include nothing or anything in describing; etymology, multiple definitions if it has more than one meaning, your own interpretation, how it strikes your fancy, use it in a sentence ~ whatever!)

The proper terms for lovely buttocks😅
Makes for a fun Acronym😎✍️🔤

Callipygian

C=Curvaceous
A=And
L=Lovely
L=Looking
I=In
P=Pants
Y=Yes
G=Gorgeous
I=Impressively
A=Appealing

Seriously a much nicer way of
saying that a person has a shapely
posterior.
Rather that than the crass crude

akin to an oook oook me og
Oooh gurl yous ahhsssss be ogga
oook num num oook!😅

Definition of
callipygian
=
callipygian (adj.)
"of, pertaining to, or having beautiful buttocks," 1800, Latinized from Greek kallipygos, name of a statue of Aphrodite at Syracuse, from kalli-, combining form of kallos "beauty" (see Callisto) + pygē "rump, buttocks," which Beekes calls "A slang word, completely avoided in epic poetry and higher literature (Wackernagel 1916: 225f.). It has no convincing etymology." Sir Thomas Browne (1646) refers to "Callipygæ and women largely composed behinde."
