Little delights are easy and free. I love words and not infrequently I hear a deliciously fun word used, one I haven’t heard in a long time or an old phrase that just fits the situation showers me with pleasure. This evening a friend regaled me with his internal reactions to an annoying colleague’s behavior. Her sarcasm did seem edgy rather than funny as he described it. My friend shrugged his shoulders having succeeded in passing along the distaste of her to me. He added that he wouldn’t stand for anyone else besmirching her character. She may be tricky to engage with, but she’s a brilliant designer. Isn’t besmirch a wonderful word? That’s today’s fun word. See if you can find a way to use it. It’ll give a wordie pleasure!
