Many of us have expressed our concern for the recent lack of new members joining the board, so I've come up with an idea. Why don't we host a week of words for AWAD? We could dig up 5 words that we've discussed (separate from previous AWADs) and along with the word and it's definition, we could provide a link to that thread. This would be fun for us and surely get more people interested in the board. So, bring on the words!

great idea.. i sort of started to do it.. but i guess my words where not interesting enough.. all where toponyms, but fabic ones.. (seersucker, which has been done started me thinking about it..) but they haven't appeared.. so i guess they were too pedestrian..
one of mine fun words from awas talk is next. like good, better, best, next is a superative.. nigh, near, next! whoda thunk it? i never realize it till i read it here!

Wonderful idea, JazzO. Three things: 1.) Anu will have to like the idea; 2.) he always has a theme for the week, though I suppose that week's could be "contributions by AWADtalk members"; 3.) anyone submitting a possibility ought to do a Search, to make sure it hasn't been done before.

Jackie,
I sent an e-mail to him right before I started this thread here, so I've yet to hear back from him, but considering he's had guest Wordsmiths before and had blurbs in some e-mailings saying "Want to be a guest Wordsmith?" I think he'll be fine with the idea. But I don't know yet.

Er, Jackie, you each used the word "he", and Jazzo followed your usage with "he" and "him". Did you perhaps intend " He" and " Him"?

Terrific idea Jazz. Now I wish I had the memory that you all seem to have.
When we discuss a word I'll get all enthused and bug my hubby "ooo, ooo, do you know that XXX came down from old English..." (imagine his rolling of eyes here)...but I'll be danged if I can remember where or when the word was discussed after two weeks have passed.

I just got a response from Anu. Short and sweet: "Sounds like a good idea to Me."
So, dig up them words!
