Joanna posted a list of the words that editor Kurt Anderson wanted to keep out of New York Magazine. It made me smile to see words like "eatery" and "flicks" that writers use to avoid the repeating themselves. (I am so guilty of that!)
I know we've all spent time trying, trying, trying to find replacements for blog-land cliches like of "lovely" and "lusting". So, here are a few new girly words that I learned this week from Word of the Day.
Now those strands of Tiffany jewels won't just "gorgeous", they will be clinquant. (... right, Newt Gingrich?)
p.s. if you are a word collector, you will love Cori Kindred's Rock Collection art pieces.
This one featuring heartache, piano strings, and chrysalis is my favorite.
