summer is over, finally
thank goodness, i sure was getting tired of playing beach blanket bingo with breast models and curling fifty pound dumbbells while sprinting up sand dunes. if you are like me and missed out on much of the internet this summer, the robot guestblogger that wrote all my posts for me these past few weeks has kindly recapitulated all of the words of the word summer series.
today’s creative writing assignment: write a short story employing the following 19 words from the preceding 19 weeks of summer:
acyrological · incorrect in use of words
lobcock · a blundering fool
crwth · an ancient celtic violin
pfuiteufel · an exclamation of contempt or disgust
tenebrio · one who lurks in the dark
agathokakological · composed of good and evil
ville lumière · an exciting modern city
sythe · one’s pilgrimage on earth; the course of one’s life
pruno · in prison, an improvised alcoholic drink
transclout · to alter appearance by wearing ill-fitting clothes
kill-cow-fray · something made up to terrify
quia timet · an action brought to prevent possible future injury
catoptromancy · divination by means of a mirror
gyte · mad, out of one’s senses
sanguivorous · feeding on blood
whiskerandoed · heavily whiskered
triacontaëterid · a period of thirty years; a festival occurring every 30 years.
eirmonger · a dealer in eggs
schlimazl · a consistently unlucky person
while the word summer series has terminated, autumn brings with it the exciting season premiere of f-words and—as i’m sure the suspense has been gripping you through may, june, july, and august—the cliffhanger involving a bike ride, a salami, and a fanny pack will finally be resolved.
