Wednesdays. Some people love them, some people hate them. They are the “hump day” and the mid week marker. Wednesdays are the day when we are teetering at the top of the ski slope, awaiting the downward ride to the weekend. They signify the end of early week blues and the beginning of late week happiness.
Now, however, they are becoming something else entirely. Wednesdays are entering a new world at Simply Nectar. They will no longer be known as just Wednesdays. From now on, Wednesdays are known as NEW WORD WEDNESDAYS. Yes, that was in capitals because I was shouting it. I was giving the name a bit of drama and I think you should too. New Word Wednesdays are the way forward and they should be embraced by everyone and anyone. Pass on the news and get your friends to take part in New Word Wednesdays too. It will deepen those conversations and intellectualise your life (not that you’re not already intellectual of course!)

But why have we done this? Well, it’s pretty easy really. We at Simply Nectar are a bit of a simple bunch (see photo of George in our first blog for confirmation of this!) so we’ve decided to embark on a weekly task of learning new words. Every Wednesday we will Tweet and blog new words for all to learn. These words must be used in our (and hopefully your) vocabulary from now on. OK, so perhaps not all of them can be used often – there will be many obscure words mentioned I’m sure – but the least we can do is try.
So, raise your cuppas,glasses, pints, Simply Nectar bottles etc to the sky and pledge allegiance to Simply Nectar’s New Word Wednesday.
Right, here are some words to get you started. We’re starting from A:
Absquatulate: v. Leave abruptly, depart in a hurry, decamp (Well, there you go. I may absquatulate soon)
Acariasis: n. infestation with mites or ticks; the itch (Wow, hopefully won't be using that very often)
Acciaccatura: n. Music, very short note played before a longer note; short appoggiatura (Of course)
Acetarious: a. applied to plants used in salads (Possibly not one to use overly often)
Achlamydeous: a. Botany having neither petals nor sepals (Every day is a school day – no matter the lesson!)
Use them wisely please.
Simply educational.
