		<description><![CDATA[Regular visitors may have noticed that I am a bit behind in posting entries.  As some of you know, I have multiple sclerosis and it does, from time to time, interfere with my work.  In any case, if you have submitted a word and it has not appeared, don&#8217;t assume that it won&#8217;t in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Confuddled</title>

		<title>Mendicant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A mendicant is a wandering beggar, without the stigma attached to the word &#8220;beggar.&#8221; It&#8217;s often used to describe ascetics (another wonderful word) who wander from town to town.

		<title>Spindrift</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The word simply sounds good when said aloud, and it looks good in its written state. Picture ships at sea battling the mighty spindrift they encounter! The word captures the feeling conveyed in all those great Alistair McLean and Hammond Innes books.

		<title>Twig</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love this word because every time I hear it it brings a smile to my face. it sounds so much like what it is. I hear twig, I picture something small and, well, twiggy! More so, this site didn&#8217;t have Twig on its list, so I had to post it.

		<description><![CDATA[This is my father&#8217;s favorite word. Because it says so much in such little space. In Danish it translates to three whole words!

		<title>Extraneous</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is a really awesome way of saying &#8220;extra&#8221; or &#8220;irrelevant.&#8221; Plus it is just incredibly fun to say, and most people actually don&#8217;t know what it means - but they think they should know, so they go along with it.
