Odd choice of phrasing. I'd simply put the food trucks before the bounce house. It eliminates the need for a comma and puts the funner, perhaps more enticing attraction, at the end, giving it more emphasis.

Here's a piece on the internot I found that explains some of the differences. It gets repetitive, and may even be machine generated for all I know, but it does help. Of course, accordance and concordance have different usages, at least as far as making a list of words used by an author or in a work...

Back in the olden days before the name change, I guess one could have twee tweets with a sweetie?

"Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa" (intoned while beating one's breast).

Anachronistic or facetious now, but a formal way of begging forgiveness once upon a time.

In case the Greek and Semitic words made you think it, too, here's harass, which turns out not to be related. People can be harassed with cartoons, though.

I managed to come up with two places that speak of epsilontics, so I guess that's what an epsilontist would engage in. Here they are: https://www.wordsense.eu/epsilontic/ https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/epsilontics If anyone cares to share just what those definitions might mean in plain English, I'd ...

Revisiting this suggestion I was reminded that it can also be a verb. Which gives us cartoonery, too. I see that it comes from the original idea of drawing such sketches on stiff paper, i.e. carton. Then it spread out from there. Speaking of Herblock, he designed a US postage stamp . It's not a cart...

Dick Dastardly was probably how I first came to know this word:



He ranks right up there with Snidely Whiplash:

For a word with no history we know of, finis sure has a good-sized family: finish, finite, finitude, finity, infinity, definite, etc.

I recently learned that some people have tried to give the etymology of picnic a racist bent, saying it comes from a game called Pick-a-N*****.

Whilst picking on Spiro Agnew, Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In gave me the word tomentose , which I gather he deployed in some fashion. Judging from the definition and images, it means velutinous. https://www.healthbenefitstimes.com/glossary/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Tomentose.jpg Not exactly, but pr...
