Word of the Day:

winsome

It's Friday, yay! Let's celebrate by me giving you a sentence: "You winsome, you lose some, it's all in how you take the shot: toss it back like a woman, or sip it like a girl coughHillaryClintoncough."

Thursday's WOD, miasma, means: 1. A vaporous exhalation (as of marshes or putrid matter) formerly thought to cause disease; broadly, a thick vaporous atmosphere or emanation 2. A harmful or corrupting atmosphere or influence; also, an atmosphere that obscures; a fog.

Wow, that sounds like some nasty stuff... it could really mess up miasma.

Congratulations to Pen, who is the best player alonger ever, for her sentence "I like drinking miasmas on a Sunday morning, they're like, so bubbly and orange!"
