Word Of The Day

[Altobelli]

At the most (and not always) a 14 hour day alf, just finished a stint, I have Tuesday/Wednesday off then a straight 7 days before my next rest days, the slog is going to bed early and not being able to sleep and having to get my carcase up at 3am which is killing me.

Was all set to do just that alf, been going sick with a back problem that would not mean me losing my PSV Licence and them having to pay me off, then the union rep said he could get me doing the same job part time doing just 2 days a week, now our garage has just lost 4 routes ( our Management could not even run a bath) which means we are massively overstaffed so I may have to go back to my original plan.

Curmudgeon (kəːˈmʌdʒ(ə)n)

Are you trying to find just the right word for someone who’s very bad-tempered and grumpy? Curmudgeon (noun) might be just the word that you’re looking for!

Dating back to at least the 16th century, this word has been used for a long time.

If you hear someone say,

“I don’t like our English teacher … he is a real curmudgeon!”

you can agree (or hopefully disagree!) and know what it means.

Syzygy
[siz-i-jee]

Amazingly, the only English word with three Ys also happens to describe a rare astronomical event involving three heavenly bodies. A syzygy is the alignment of three celestial bodies in a straight line, commonly the Earth, the Sun and the Moon. Now, what is the only common English word to end in -mt?

The science of jurisprudence regards the state and power as the ancients regarded fire-namely, as something existing absolutely. But for history, the state and power are merely phenomena, just as for modern physics fire is not an element but a phenomenon.
