Subject: A.Word.A.Day--pabulum
X-Bonus: Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity over humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well-warmed, and well-fed. -Herman Melville, novelist and poet (1819-1891)
This week's theme: Words that have changed with time
pabulum (PAB-yuh-luhm)
noun: Bland intellectual fare: insipid or simplistic ideas, entertainment, writing, etc.
[From Latin pabulum (food, fuel, fodder), from pascere (to feed).
Ultimately from the Indo-European root pa- (to protect or feed),
which also gave us food, foster, fodder, forage, pasture, pantry,
and companion. Earliest documented use: 1661.]
See usage examples in Vocabulary.com's dictionary: http://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/pabulum
NOTES: Originally pabulum was something that nourished. During the 1920s,
three Canadian pediatricians developed a bland, soft infant formula
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablum that was later marketed under the
brand name Pablum and eventually the words pabulum/pablum came to refer
to things simplistic or banal.

"'This is not art,' I said. 'This is casual diversion, pabulum for the
merchant class.'"

X-Bonus: Our sincerest laughter With some pain is fraught; Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought. -Percy Bysshe Shelley, poet (1792-1822)
While the main job of usage examples included with words is to help
illustrate the words, sometimes they go beyond that.
This week's usage examples may use a good turn of phrase. Great writing
evokes images. It paints pictures. Instead of describing stacks of paper
on the floor, it evokes paper stalagmites.
Or it may be an unusual take on everyday things. It may be a curious
state of affairs. Well, you'll just have to read the examples.
This week we'll feature five words with usage examples that might make
you say: I subscribe to A.Word.A.Day just for the usage examples.
stalagmite (stuh-LAG-myt, STAL-uhg-myt) noun
A conical column on the floor of a cave, formed by minerals in dripping water.
[From Greek stalaktos (dripping), from stalassein (to drip). Earliest
documented use: 1681.]
See usage examples in Vocabulary.com's dictionary: http://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/stalagmite
NOTES: A similar tapering structure hanging from the roof of a cave is
called a stalactite. It's easy to remember which is which.
Ground: stalaGmite; Ceiling: stalaCtite.

Subject: A.Word.A.Day--Philadelphia lawyer
X-Bonus: No amount of belief makes something a fact. -James Randi, magician and skeptic (b. 1928)
This week's theme: Interesting usage examples
Philadelphia lawyer (fil-uh-DEL-fee-uh LOI-yuhr) noun
A shrewd lawyer, one who is adept at exploiting legal technicalities.
[The term is said to have been inspired by Philadelphia-based Andrew
Hamilton's successful defense of the New York printer John Peter Zenger
from libel charges. This decision helped establish the idea that truth
is a defense in a libel accusation and affirmed the freedom of the press in
America. Though the incident took place in 1735, the earliest documented
use unearthed so far is from 1788.]

"Then Willie Lee nailed me those many years ago. With a woman's way she
said to Bob, 'Bob, this man's been here three days and he's complimented
my cooking more than you have in thirty years of marriage.'
"A death pall lay over the burdened table. Willie Lee had pierced both of
us with two horns of the same bull. I gulped and floundered -- helpless
to assist my wounded friend -- but Bob never missed a spoonful as he said,
'I've been too busy eatin'.'
"No Philadelphia lawyer ever saved (himself and) the condemned with so few
words, so coolly and ably stated. I was in Bob's debt and learned that
moment to keep my compliments to a peck and not a bushel."

X-Bonus: The true civilization is where every man gives to every other every right that he claims for himself. -Robert Green Ingersoll, lawyer and orator (1833-1899)
The human body has been described as the most complex machine around.
No wonder Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, said, "The life so short,
the craft so long to learn." The parts of this machine have become such
a part of the language that we use them without even realizing it.

throat) that are embedded in our language in the form of verbs.
inveigle (in-VAY-guhl, -VEE-) verb tr.

Subject: A.Word.A.Day--presentiment
X-Bonus: The pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous feeling of the words being there, written in invisible ink and clamoring to become visible. -Vladimir Nabokov, novelist (1899-1977)
Why do you like to learn new words? For some, it's the joy of discovering new
and unusual specimens in the language and the stories behind them. For others,
it's to improve their vocabulary, whether for college or work.
Sometimes readers write to say, "I'll never have a chance to use these words!"
You will. As you can see from the usage examples taken from newspapers,
magazines, and books, words featured in AWAD are not from a museum. They're
words that are still used though not often.
Still, we take the point. What some are looking for are more practical words;
words that can be used in an office memo or in a term paper; words they are
more likely to come across in a trade report or college exam.
This week we'll offer you five such practical words. Go ahead, employ them,
put them into practice.
presentiment (pri-ZEN-tuh-ment) noun
A sense that something is going to happen, especially something bad.
[From French pressentiment (premonition), from pressentir (to have a
premonition), from Latin pre- (before) + sentire (to feel). Ultimately
from the Indo-European root sent- (to head for or to go), that is also the
source for send, scent, sense, sentence, assent, consent, and ressentiment

This week's theme: Miscellaneous words
fungible (FUHN-juh-buhl) adjective
Interchangeable.
[From Latin fungi (to perform in place). Earliest documented use: 1765.]
See usage examples in Vocabulary.com's dictionary: http://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/fungible
NOTES: When you lend someone a dollar bill, you don't care if he returns
the same bill or a different one because money is fungible. Same with
things such as gold, a cup of sugar, etc. However, if you lend someone
your cell phone, you wouldn't be pleased if he returned a different phone
even if it's exactly the same model. That would be an example of something
nonfungible.
"Forbidden to own land for most of our two millennia of exile, we gradually
became experts in accumulating capital, which is portable, easily
inheritable, fungible, and expandable."

puissance (PWIS-uhns, PYOO-i-suhns) noun
