Booboisie .. Word of the Day

Rae November 19th, 2007

booboisie \boob-wah-ZEE\, noun:
A class of people regarded as stupid or foolish.

I have been watching the news channels late at night during Chelsea’s feedings. This word totally describes some of the people I see on there.  All the channels are equal in having a stupid hour that I can see.  It is even more amazing when you see one of the news channels picking on another news channel for having said something idiotic. I think that makes them just as equal for having feel the need to repeat it. What ever happened to the real news and not these booboisie reporters. I guess they are affected by the recent writers strike as well? Sheesh!

Word of the Day - Antiquarian

Rae September 6th, 2007

antiquarian \an-tuh-KWAIR-ee-uhn\, noun:
1. One who collects, studies, or deals in objects or relics from the past.

My mother and father are both Antiquarians to a degree. Just this year they have partially moved down here to the Sunshine state. The reason I say partially is because they left a house full of collected stuff behind. They currently reside with my great aunt who just turned 93. My great aunt refuses to live anywhere but the house she has been in for the past 20 plus years. So in efforts to keep her safe (she tends to leave the stove on) my parents moved in. My father has returned to SC on several occasions to try to weed through the collected stuff. I don’t know who is worse about not wanting to part with their half of the mess. This is where the apple falls way far away from the tree. If I have something around that I haven’t used in the last 2 years it is usually headed towards a yard sale. I love to look at collectibles and I have fond memories of things they have. I will never be an Antiquarian though.
