Tuesday Word Bytes; Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm!

I LOVE words!  I think language is the best part of being a human.  There's nothing as good as taking a new word and rolling it around the inside of my mouth and feeling how it tastes.

Todays word;


Cachinnator  (cak-in-ay-ter)

From the Latin; cachinnatus

To laugh loudly or immoderately.

One of my favorite movies is, "Oklahoma!"  
So full of color and emotion, light and darkness!

There is a scene,  where all the young ladies have stopped off at Aunt Eller's farm house to freshen up before they continue on to the barn dance.  There is a girl there who has a HIDEOUS laugh, designed to draw attention.

That's her, with the basket!

(Another obnoxious cachinnatior!)



Now, I have room to talk, because I'm a bit of an obnoxious laugher myself.  There are people, who haven't seen me in years, but if they hear me laugh they can identify me right away!  

Some would say I have a hearty laugh.  I admit it can be shrill, when I'm nervous.

Although it may be loud, it is completely genuine and often contagious.

Therefore, I hereby declare myself to be a

NONCACHINNATOR!

How about you?
