Flummery is the new word of the day.
This is so good I will tell you right up front its origin is Welsh. I’ve had clients and so called friends do this to me and I was not impressed. So what I would like to know is how often it has happened to you and do feel it’s happening now? The meaning of (flum’er e) is meaningless flattery or silly talk. So you don’t need to tell me a lot of my posts is meaningless flattery or sill talk but until now I didn’t know they had a word for … (10 comments)

So tell me have you been on one of these? Bet me just bet me cause I know you have. It’s a common thing so want to make a wager? OK all joking aside I still say you have been on one of these can you guess what it is? Alright I’ve held you in suspense for long enough the meaning of (me kad’em) is small broken stones used in making roads; esp., such stones combined with a binder such as tar or asphalt. So tell me did you guess it? Isn’t … (13 comments)

Pecker is the new word of the day.
This ought to get you blood flowing on a Monday morning.
I can just the thoughts going through your mind now... OK once you get your mind out of the gutter and stop laughing let’s get on with this word. To tell you the truth I’m laughing with you, just can’t help it but I am a professional so the meaning of (pek’er) is courage; spirit, so I want to have the courage to keep on keeping on when things get tough and to have the spirit to go with it.

Mesne is the new word of the day. - 02/26/12 03:37 AM
Mesne is the new word of the day.
Having been to real estate school I don’t recall this word showing up. Just looked in the booklet provided and sure enough it’s not there. But anyway it does exist so having found it I thought I would write about it. Have you guessed its meaning? If not join the crowd so the meaning of (men) middle; intermediate; intervening: mesne profits are profits accruing from the time possession of land has been improperly withheld from its rightful owner until his or her reinstatement in possession of the property. That was a mouthful … (11 comments)

Portend is the new word of the day. - 02/25/12 04:15 AM
Portend is the new word of the day.
OK it’s not pretending it’s portend. I bet most of you have had dreams that seems so real this could and maybe has happened. I know when my incident in 1987 happened I had a thought in the back of my mind it would happen but not to the extent it did or to the extent of the way it affected me. So now for the meaning of (por tend’) to be an omen or warning of; foreshadow; presage. So have you experienced that 6th sense and ran or have you had … (8 comments)

Pomander is the new word of the day. - 02/24/12 03:27 AM
Pomander is the new word of the day.
Haven’t worn one of these but after reading its meaning I might start with some homes. Not really but it would be nice if these things work. So now would be as good as a time to tell you the meaning of (po’man der) a mixture of aromatic substances balled together and carried about with one, esp. formerly as a supposed safeguard against infection. Some of the homes I’ve been in and the smell that goes with it wish I had one of these. What say you?

Expiate is the new word of the day.
Have I been there done that, you bet ya I have more than once. I didn’t know they had a word for this but apparently they do so I’m introducing you to it.

Now for the meaning of (eks’pe at’) to make amends or reparation for (wrong doing or guilt) to pay the penalty or; suffer for; man if I had a dollar for every time I’ve done that. Anyway now what say … (9 comments)

Frog is the new word of the day.
Now, now you people ought to know me by now not to jump to conclusions as you know I usually have a few surprises. So I know what the first thought you had in mind and I would also but let’s examine this a little closer. Frog has many meanings but the ones I’ve chosen is a fastening on a belt for carrying a sword, bayonet, etc. A corded or braided loop used as a fastener or decoration on clothing. Now did you guess the right one? Enjoy the day

Debenture is the new word of the day…
I have my signature on a host of these. Although there are not as many as in the past but they are still there. Most everyone I know has these but the question is are you overloaded with them? If so you might want to get rid of them as I know I want to so I guess now is as good a time as any to tell you the meaning of (di ben’cher) is a voucher or certificate acknowledging that a debt is owed by the signer. How about that credit … (12 comments)

Boor is the new word of the day.
Now don’t jump the gun and think you know the meaning of this word. While it brings up thoughts you’ll be surprised at its true meaning. I’ve known my share of these and not ready to deal with more of the same. So have you got a thought into the meaning? The true meaning of (boor) is a rude, awkward, or ill-mannered person. Did you get the correct meaning?

Coruscation is the new word of the day...
I possess this sometimes. You did catch the sometimes didn’t you? Anyway it doesn’t happen often and as I grow in age the time frame seems to be getting longer and longer between them. There are people whom I know and have known who possess this and still can use it at will. Now for the meaning of (kor’eska’shen) is a sudden brilliant display as of wit. What did you expect from me something informative? Enjoy the day.

Chickee is the new word of the day.
I’ve seen these but not lately. This for where it is located would be cheap to build. If they say necessity is the reason you can sure put this one on the menu. I bet ya this one was difficult to build with the tools at hand. Anyway the meaning of (chik’e) is a Seminole Indian house built on stilts, with open sides and a thatched roof of palm leaves.

Shrive is the new word of the day. - 02/15/12 06:20 AM
Shrive is the new word of the day.
Are you one of these? People tell me this all the time and I feel sometimes it’s a good thing while at other times I feel it’s a curse. I think most of us as agents to our clients there are certain things we need to know and the other stuff is just them getting it off their chest. If you haven’t figured it out by now the meaning of (shriv) is to hear confessions. So how many confessions have you heard in your careers? Bet ya could write a book about … (8 comments)

Hereat is the new word or the day. - 02/14/12 06:00 AM
Hereat is the new word or the day.
Why this word is even spoken of I don’t understand. I just can’t understand the meaning on one hand and then on the other it makes complete sense. Sound confusing? You bet ya it is and once you understand or read it’s meaning you to will be confused. Now for the meaning of (hir at’) at this time; when this occurred. For me I ask what time and what occurred. So now I’m more confused and I guess it’s (hereat) for me to go (hereat) :~)

Gustation is the new word of the day.
OK don’t know about you but I like doing this. Some things don’t come up to this level but most things do. I’m partially fond of adult beverages but I’ve had to cut back for various reasons. Anyway I won’t bore you with the other stuff but now is as good a time as any for the meaning of (ges ta’shen) is the act of tasting, the sense of taste. A tasteless substance for me is water and I’m supposed to drink more of that than anything. <sigh>

Oligarchy is the new word of the day.
I know I just know this may come back to bite me but I’m not know to back away from a confrontation. So with that little tidbit of information I came across this word. So the meaning of (al’I garke) is a form of government in which the ruling power belongs to a few persons. Isn’t that’s what we have? We vote them in and then gripe about them while they are in office. Crazy world isn’t it? Have a great day

Inanition is the word of the day.
Trust me I don’t have this affiliation although sometimes I wish I did. Most of us as agents do not suffer from this but some do, the question is do you suffer from this? The old saying the mind is willing but the body isn’t might be a good thought while you learn its meaning. The meaning of {in’e nish’en} is lack of strength or spirit. Sooooo do you have agents who show up for work but you can tell they just don’t have it in them any longer? What say you?

Haulm is the new word of the day.
In olden times and still in some places today homes are made of this. While I think this is a good thing for some places do you think it is still useful now? Have you had your thinking caps on and figured out the meaning of the word? If not don’t feel lonesome so if you haven’t again don’t feel lonesome. The meaning of {hom} is straw or hay used for thatching, bedding. Interesting word isn’t it?

Tchotchke is the new word of the day
That’s right you heard it here first. The origin of the word is Yiddish and I read it in a book last night. Not that I was born last night (actually night before last) but who’s counting. Anyway I had I just had to look this one up and low and behold here it is. The meaning of (chach’ke) is a knickknack, collectible, trinket. So how many clients have you had that absolutely refused to get rid of their trinkets?

Hirsutism is the new word of the day
Can you guess what the word of the day stands for? Come on just take a look at me and it should knock you down it’s so obvious. While I feel sorry for people with this problem I would like to have it once in my life. <sigh> OK time to give the meaning to (hur’soot iz’em) a heavy abnormal growth of hair, and with that being said there is only one thing left to say <sigh> <sigh>

Naches is the new word of the day
I wonder for those who will read this if they can guess what the word means before reading the meaning. For me it was of course my parents, my wife and kids and very few in between. Have you guessed the meaning yet? If you haven’t you won’t get it so here is the meaning of (nakh’es) pleasurable pride, esp. in another’s achievements. So what do you think about today’s word?

Well I knew there was a word for this and now after reading this post you’ll know. I wonder if these people get paid for doing this job. If so I want to know where to apply. So without further adieu the meaning of (ne al’e jiz’em) a new word or a new meaning for an established word. Interesting job where do I apply?

Mansuetude is the word of the day.
All of us young, old or somewhere in between has this problem. I’ll call it a good problem but when you learn the meaning you may call me names. Anyway I have this problem when I’m around family so I guess now is as good a time as any to give you the meaning of (man’swi tood) which is gentleness; tameness. So how many people are you gentle to?

Taction is the word of the day... - 02/04/12 06:59 AM
Don’t know about you but I like this. It does feel good and I like to return the favor. Now don’t get me wrong you can’t go doing this to everyone so be careful. If you do this to everyone you meet not only will it cause you some trouble it may get your backside beat. So without further adieu the meaning of {tak’shen} is a touching or being touched; contact.

When I was a cop I was known as a “martinet” of which I wore it proudly. - 02/03/12 05:51 AM
Yes I have had several cops and deputies refer to me by many names but I bet they never thought of calling me this. If they had I would have needed to look this one up. After retiring I’ve heard some of the names they called me. After leaving they all knew they had lost someone who cared for them and still do so the meaning of (mart’n et’) is any very strict disciplinarian or stickler for rigid regulations. While they all cursed me under their breath they knew who would be first to defend their actions. I do miss … (9 comments)

Ever had someone pull a “levant” on you?
You bet ya I have more than once. The problem is I know it’s going to happen again but I do hope it is not as often. Of course while you’re reading this post start wondering how many times this has happened to you. Now I guess it would be a good time to give you the meaning of (le vant’) is to disappear unexpectedly, leaving unpaid debt. So now what say you?

Not a trick word do you have a “kluge”? - 02/01/12 06:08 AM
Not a trick word do you have a “kluge”?
Who would have thunk it a new word for me anyway about a problem I bet most of you didn’t know it existed. I knew of a person who had worked for this industry at one time. I was told by her when someone returned one of these they would take the parts out that worked and used them on another new product. The meaning of (klooj) is a computer, made up of, or improvised from, mismatched parts. I have not confirmed this but it could be true. So now how … (9 comments)
