Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary: Today’s Word – Tarma

Posted on June 18, 2024 by pauldelancey

How many times has this happened to you? You’ve been mean to someone. Moments later, the sky rains down cows. One of them lands on your foot. That’s karma. Or you foil a bank robbery by tripping the thieves as they head to their getaway car. Moments later, you find a shiny quarter on the sidewalk. That’s karma, too.

We all know what happens whenever you do something really evil and vicious.  Two cows rain down on your head. Well all know this as CARMA. Don’t want that.

But what happens when you act really, really nice to some people? What happens then? Why you’ll receive a free, incredibly tasty taco.

If only there were a word to describe this wonderful type of karma. And now we have.

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary: Today’s Word – Expirace

Posted on June 17, 2024 by pauldelancey

How many times has this happened to you? You go to the store to get milk, tomatoes, cheese, lettuce, and other perishables. Will you work all these foods into wholesome meals for your family before your produce and such pass their expiration dates and go bad? No. But still you try. You find yourself concocting ever wilder meals in your race to use up all your perishables. Remember your avocado, peach, lettuce, tomato, kale, sour cream, sausage link cobbler?

If only there were a word to describe this race. And now we have.

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary: Today’s Word – Frimp

Posted on June 9, 2024 by pauldelancey

How many times has this happened to you? Either your GPS has broken down or you just didn’t bother with directions. The Sun went down two hours ago. You don’t know which way to go?  You get out of the care to answer the call of nature, when suddenly you see an imp not five feet away. How the heck did it get so close? You notice that is imp is carrying an axe. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, you are going to die! You’re gonna die. Then the most amazing thing occurs. The imp carefully lays down its axe. He smiles at you. His name is Ian, Ian the Imp. He asks you to play charades. Ian does not get many opportunities to play charades. You play the game with him. Until dawn. You become friends.

If only there were a word to describe this new friend. And now we have.

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary: Today’s Word – Porphin

Posted on June 6, 2024 by pauldelancey

Endorphins are peptides produced in the brain that block the perception of pain and increase feelings of wellbeing.

Life can be hard. People can be let us down and be downright mean to us. Illnesses make us depressed.

We need to do and see things stymy that perception of pain and make us feel better.

Endorphins in our brain do just that. Unleash the kraken! Oops, no.

Unleash the endorphins!

How do we accomplish that? Transform some object, entity, or feeling that saddens us into something that makes us happy.

What brings us down? Orphan socks. For example, a single sock adorned with delightful hula dancers.

What makes us happy? Uniting two ORPan socks to reconstitute a Pair of socks.

Now, we’re cooking with gas. Let the great endORPHIN event begin.

If only there were a word to describe this endorphin flood. And now we have.

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary: Today’s Word – Biobe

Posted on May 24, 2024 by pauldelancey

There are so many tiny things in the world! How are we expected to know what they’re called? And single-cell organisms, why they’re are billion types of them. We can’t possible know and remember their names. And why should we care? Because biology professors test our knowledge of them. Because the CDC puts out bulletins about how to avoid some deadly virus, bacteria, whatever, but we can’t remember what the CDC called what. Then newscasters terrify us with the latest terrifying microscopic thing. The newscasters won’t remember the name either, but they will have scared the bejeebus out of us, just the same.

We need a name to describe little thingamabobs. And now we have.

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary: Today’s Word – Pqfkqpltw

Posted on April 10, 2024 by pauldelancey

Foreign words can be difficult to pronounce. Words that we’ve never seen before are also hard to say correctly, such as ‘”reconnaissance” was for eight-year old me. Sure, we could say, “That word is hard to pronounce.” However, that is a sentence, of six words no less. What if we want to say that in just one word, one that evokes the difficulty of a nearly unpronounceable word?

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary: Today’s Word: Bempo

Posted on April 7, 2024 by pauldelancey

How many times has this happened to you? You wake up tired. Really, really tired. Too tired to change out of pajamas. But it’s important to look spiffy when you go out into the world. But you don’t have to go out into the world. It’s your day off or you’re retired. Screw it, the pajamas stay. So there.

But then you find yourself answering the front door. In your pajamas.

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary – Today’s Word – Tempid

Posted on April 4, 2024 by pauldelancey

We are all brilliant, every last one of us. We have scintillating ideas all the time. So, why aren’t we given more credit for our intelligence? Why hasn’t the world been turned into a paradise? Why aren’t a hundred Nobel prizes given out every year?

Because we didn’t write them down the moment our glorious idea illuminated our brain. Something happened. Something distracted us. Taxes perhaps or plain, old, ordinary chores needed to be done. And we forgot. The world will never be improved.  People won’t ever look at us and say, “He made our lives ever so much better, what a wonderful person.”

Posted on March 26, 2024 by pauldelancey

How many times has this happened to you? You climbed Mt. Everest just using toothpicks only to learn that no one saw you reach the top.

You took closeted yourself in your room for 23 years to order 526,123 by height and memorize every governor of every state since the foundation of the American republic
