Wondering | Tuesday, 2009 November 3 - 8:16 am |
Why is the process of making something cold called refrigeration? It's not like it was previously naturally, uh, frigerated. Also, it bothers me that the abbreviation for "refrigerator" is "fridge" with a "d" in it. Of course, while I was growing up, our family called it the "rif", which didn't make much sense either. |

Word of the Day | Monday, 2009 November 2 - 9:56 am |
The word of the day is "cinereal", which means "ashen" (as in "grey"), because it's so grey outside today. I would totally have thought the word had something to do with documentaries, as in "cinema + reality". But it actually comes from the Latin word cineris, meaning "of ashes". By the way, I've signed up for NaBloPoMo this month, so expect many more posts in this vein. |
