Pimigravida a commonly-used medical term means pregnant for the first time but elderly primigravida has become dated.
"Which part has become dated? Because it is elderly?"
Leave the jokes to me Human. They considered a woman over 35 as elderly. Tick-tock, HT. Ha-ha-ha!
Answer the poll below for this word of the week or leave a comment to define it your way.
Considered a lost word, quibbleism is just another excellent example of my humanoids behavior. According to a lovely new site we stumbled across, The Phrontisrey, it seems the term quibbleism was used in 1836.
This one shouldn’t be too difficult to deduce since the root is quibble.
The practice of quibbling.
”Not to sound like I’m arguing, but I really must insist that it is you whom constantly quibbles about this and that.”
Readers, you see! Doesn’t it sound like she is interjecting an inconsequential complaint? Doesn’t that sound like a quibble to you?
It has been some time since my human has posted a Word of the Week. Have you missed them too. The interesting thing is she is what you might call a bablatrice.
Just what is a bablatrice you may be wondering. Well it isn’t a technical term for a part of a castle, that is a buttress, nor is it an archaic synonym for genius. Babla- might give you a clue, it pertains to babbling. In fact-
A babbling female.
If there is one thing that my human excels in, it is talking nonstop, usually complete gibberish. Now, pretend you are watching Pee-Wee Herman and instead of screaming when you hear the word, try to add it purposely into your everyday conversations.
Liven up your language people!
