A gift from baby Jesus?

My prayers have been answered. For years and years I have wished for the joy that is CleverKeys, when all along it was right under my nose at my beloved dictionary.com.

In the middle of writing a paper, I was perusing dictionary.com in search of lexical genius when I stumbled across it.

Download CleverKeys and highlight any word within your browser, word processor, and allegedly many other applications. Hit Ctrl+L, and the word's definition will pop up in a new window. I nearly crapped myself.

Tell all your friends and neighbors! Hallelujah, glory awaits you!

Fun to say word of the day

Perfidious

Tending to betray; especially having a treacherous character.
Origin: Latin

Spice up your vocabulary with some Yiddish

Whenever my boss and his wife, who are Jewish, throw some Yiddish into conversation, I always get a little excited to learn a new word. For word nerds and/or thesaurus lovers such as me, I'm starting a fun to say word of the day, that may or may not include a lot of Yiddish. We'll see if it lasts.

Today's word:

shmaltzy

Excessively sentimental, gushing, flattering, over-the-top, corny.
Origin: Yiddish

I'm also excited to list a fun synonym that I know of: treacly, derived from treacles (syrup/molasses).
