Cox-combry – Wordplay Wednesday™ 01/10/18

Silly: A Daily Nutrient for the Brain 

Feeling a little giddy after the New Year's festivities? Say this week’s Wordplay Wednesday word three times fast … that oughta make you feel downright …

COX-COMBRY (-kōmʹrē) n. – 1) silly conceit or foppery; 2) an instance of this. [WW #146]

I looked for the dictionary’s distinction of “archaic,” to be associated with this word, but nope—they’re serious. Maybe I’m just leading a sheltered writer’s life and everyone else uses cox-combry on a regular basis.

Is it possible, I have never heard cox-combry used in conversation, over my whole, 39 and Holding … and holding … and holding …. life?!

 

Please tell me if I’ve been missing out or simply not part of the cox-combry “in crowd.”. I’ll be crushed (see the crocodile tears?), but I’ll get over it.

Word Challenge: COX-COMBRY. Being a joker is a skill. Life needs to be a little senseless on a daily basis, to make sense. Smile knowingly, as you fit cox-combry into your week of silly, humorous writings.

Write first for yourself … only then can you write for others. (L.Rochelle) 

'Til next time ... CHEERS to a wonderful "wordful" week …

Theurgy – Wordplay Wednesday™ 01/03/18

Give Your 2018 a Mystic Boost! 

Looking for a little help with your New Year’s resolutions? Look inside. Only you can make them happen … but … is that entirely true?

THEURGY (theʹɘr jē) n. – 1) an occurrence or accomplishments or a sequence of these, esp. when remarkable or extraordinary, viewed as effected by supernatural or divine agency; 2) a set of acts or incantations taken to be capable of introducing such occurrences or accomplishments. [WW #145] 

In other words, your New Year’s resolutions could come from the helping hand of a higher power … or a ghost! Well, don’t you pray, as you write them out, that you—and your “divine agency”—can make them happen?

Whether you meditate, create rituals, believe in Angels, or your theurgy manifests through the mystery of fate, believe in yourself.

Take your resolutions and goals to a higher level in a theurgy of hope and energy. Trust your instincts and never lose sight of your goal(s). Make it real! Happy New Year.

Word Challenge: THEURGY. Set your New Year of life-altering events into motion, as you fit theurgy into your week of ethereal writings.

Write first for yourself … only then can you write for others. (L.Rochelle)
