Wednesday Word of the Day


Cicatrix \SIK-uh-triks\, noun:
1. New tissue that forms over a wound.
2. Botany. A scar left by a fallen leaf, seed, etc.

Okay, so this interesting word just showed up in my email and I felt compelled to share.  How to use it in a fun sentence?  Oh, I know...  "Hey baby, nice looking cicatrix you got there."  LOL

Cicatrix is derived from the Latin word cicatrix meaning "scar." The Latin word has no clear origin. ~dictionary.com

Song of the DayHello Texas by Jimmy Buffet off the Urban Cowboy soundtrack.  Silly note, when I moved to Texas the year I turned eleven, I listened to this song as we crossed over the boarder from Oklahoma.  Funny the things we remember so vividly.  :)

  1. Oh, how neat listening to Hello Texas as you crossed into Texas... one of those 'vivid' life moments, indeed.

    Once again, not a word I've heard before. I wonder if it's related to Cicada, the insect.

  2. Yep, it was a vivid life moment. I still remember being equal parts excited and scared out of my panties about leaving the only place I'd ever known and setting down in a new and foreign land. It ended up being really good for me. :)
