Since
I’m a day late and a dollar short (again) this will be a quickie Wordplay word. (I know,
hooray!)

We
all know one or two friends or relatives, male or female, who stroll by a
festive shop window and slow down to pat their hair in its reflection, with
pleased self-admiration. There’s a word for this pretentious, vain, action …
OTIOSE (ōʹshē
ōsʹ, ōtʹē-) – adj. 1) [Rare] idle;
indolent; 2) ineffective, futile; 3) useless, superfluous – SYN. vain.
Anyone
you know?
Try
to remember, underneath the vanity and perhaps pompous attitude, is a person
clamoring for attention. ‘Tis the season – better to give than receive.

They’ll
appreciate your kindness and it’s a gift that will keep on giving – along with
the day-at-the-spa gift card, or custom basket of healthy skin care items – just helping out with a tip! (Hint, hint.)
Cheers!
