I love words! I just ran across something where if you text: DAILYWORD to 41411, you get the Word of the Day sent straight to your cellphone everyday. It's pretty cool...
Today's word was: UBIQUITOUS
Pronunciation: u·biq·ui·tous
–adjective
existing or being everywhere, esp. at the same time; omnipresent: ubiquitous fog; ubiquitous little ants.

The word of the day here happens to be 'meshuga '.
Never mind me. I'm one of the few last Mohicans living without a cellphone.

I'd heard the word "meshugena" before, but not known it's meaning or proper spelling. There's a person at my kids' school with a license plate that reads "meshuga" which I thought might either be a misspelling or a shortening.
My curiosity never stayed in my mind long enough to look it up.

meshugena , in two dictionaries : meaning crazy person.
Like meshuga means crazy, the licence plate word may have been chosen on purpose.

Usually there's a limit to the number of characters you can get on a personalized plate. It might be as high as eight but probably not as high as nine.

meshuga got 7. Which is why the plate reads MESHUGA and not MESHUGENA.
