One word (Wednesday, September 13, 2006)

I was in a meeting of artists tonight and while I was listening to something very interesting, a certain word literally barged it's way into my thoughts and I haven't been able to persuade it to leave.

The word is "Bumbershoot" and I had no idea whatsoever to it's meaning. I know I've heard the word before, and it's inarguably a very entertaining word to say, nonetheless I hadn't the faintest clue to its significance. And this word has been bouncing around in my mind like a poorly supported breast in a 5k. It begged to be paired with a definition.

So I came home and looked it up and it simply is a British term for an umbrella.

Perhaps it will rain tomorrow.
