Tuesday Word Bytes; Mmm, 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.

Today's word is:
Finifugal (fin-e-few-gul)
Latin; fini (end) + fug-a (flight)

Not wanting some happening to end.

Whether it's a good book,

a terrific vacation,

a perfect day,

a piece of music,

a perfect meal,

a perfect night's sleep

or a perfect relationship

To not want it to end is finifugal.

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;


Boufage (boo-fahj)
A French word meaning a satisfying meal.

In an English/French dictionary from 1611 the definition is given as;
"cheek puffing meat"

I think that's great!  You know, when you've had a super good meal and eaten as much as you can possibly hold, you lean back in your chair, place your hands over your belly and puff out your cheeks!  

THAT'S a satisfying meal!

I had wondered if there was a connection between the word boufage and our current buffet, but I couldn't find one.

I would think that one could have quite a significant boufage at the right buffet!

    

And this, I think, was the most satisfying meal ever served!
