LATE
Wordplay Wednesday – sorry ya-all. It’s
one of those days when the Universe had its own schedule for me. But I have an
earthy word for you that those in geology
will likely know …
Many
things – and people – are plain or even rough, on the outside; but if you’re
patient, and lucky, you just might find one that holds a real, dazzling
treasure on the inside.
Such
is the life of a VUG (or vugh, vugg): n.
cavity or hollow in a rock or lode, often lined with crystals.
A
stunted, homely word with a dazzling, magical meaning, wouldn’t you agree? Some
of you may be thinking, wait a sec, this sounds like a geode. Ah, the subtleties
of nuance.
