It’s Weird Word Wednesday! Today’s word comes to us from the Greeks, from words meaning “beauty” and “buttocks.” Yep. An old Greek word to tell someone they have a nice butt. Callipygian (adj.) – Having a shapely buttocks And no, this is not an April Fools Day Joke. I think the day should be cancelled. … More Callipygian (adj.)
Another thrilling edition of Weird Word Wednesdays here on Somebody’s Daydream. Inspired by the WEIRDEST piece of documentary film I have seen in a while: Tiger King (on Netflix). Has anyone else seen this strange and almost surreal show? How can these people be real? They seem like caricatures. Honestly, when I saw the image … More Tigon (n.)
Another episode of weird (and apropos, methinks) word Wednesday.
From time to time, I will share short stories I have created to go along with images here. This image was created in collaboration with Thomas Ridgway. I have never met him in person, but it’s definitely a bucket list item. He lives in the UK, and is a brilliantly talented artist and storyteller. It … More Story Time: The Stars
