Good morning, word nerds! Thanks for joining me for another Word Nerd Wednesday.As I was reading this week, I was reminded of a phrase I haven’t heard in quite some time: a fine kettle of fish. It’s most often heard in this kind of context: “Well, this is a fine kettle of fish you’ve landed us in.”
Hello, word nerds! It’s been a little while since I did a word nerd post, but last week I wrote a review that mentioned a character who fit a certain description ‘to a T’. First of all I had to check how to ‘spell’ it. Was it ‘to a T’ or ‘to a tee/tea’? You can probably guess the outcome of that investigation! 😉 Then the inevitable question dawned. What is a ‘T’, and why is it the ultimate measure of accuracy?
Welcome to another edition of Word Nerd Wednesday. 🙂 Today I’m going to be looking at the origins of a saying that I’ve come across not once, but twice this week, but before I do, I believe we have some unfinished business to discuss. Budgie smugglers.
Your thought for today comes from Captain Meda from Thomas Locke’s soon-to-be-released Merchant of Alyss: “There are few actions that bring greater satisfaction than knowing the right choice and taking it.” http://tlocke.com/legends-of-the-realm/merchant-of-alyss/ Free sample chapter from MERCHANT OF ALYSS by Thomas Locke Unfortunately for all of us, making the right choice isn’t always as easy as knowing the right choice. Praise God there is One who is strong in our weakness!
