Adam's Wordy Wednesday

Ashley sometimes does a Wordless Wednesday - a picture with few or no words to describe it.

Here is my Wednesday think - not that you should count on it being a pattern ... it may or may not ever happen again.

Three "words of the day" for you.  These are words that in the past month or so have just entered my consciousness and would NOT go away, like a song stuck in your head.  In all cases, I pretty much knew the meaning, but a refresher proved .... refreshing.

Without further ado:

Gestalt - in my words: "a sum greater than its parts; a meta effect/pattern," according to Wiktionary: "A collection of physical, biological, psychological or symbolic entities that creates a unified concept, configuration or pattern which is greater than the sum of its parts (of a character, personality, or being)"


Raison d'être - in my words: "reason for being; purpose in life," according to Wiktionary: "The claimed reason for the existence of something or someone; the purpose of something or someone."

Egregious - in my words: "obviously erroneous; highly visible failure," according to Wiktionary: "Exceptional, conspicuous, outstanding, most usually in a negative fashion," or simply "Outrageously bad."

Hope you enjoyed.   Now go use them in daily conversation :)
