On my last #WednesdayWord before France, two favourite French words: choubidou, shoo-bee-doo, is an affectionate term like “cutie pie”. Époustouflant is a joy to say (if you can manage to pronounce “ey-pous-tou-flant”). It means “breathtaking” ⬇️ like Sainte-Chapelle. #writerslife

As the long-debated chicken & egg conundrum, in
English we muse: Did orange (fruit) or colour come first? Its etymology is traced to a 1st-century Indian text & refers to a naranga tree & later shows up as #WednesdayWord ORANGE in French, the fruit.🍊🧡

Given my upcoming field research in France, my #WednesdayWord is louche: “not reputable or decent”
When extremely judgmental, we likely narrow our eyes to communicate disapproval. Without knowing it, we are expressing the history of louche. #amwriting✍️☕

My #WednesdayWord is polysemy contest winner: run. The Oxford lists nearly 650 distinct, related uses—just as a verb:
run for office, my nose is running, run a red light, run the risk, big ears run in the fam, run a tab, etc
I run on books and coffee #amwriting✍️☕
