Unusual Word of the Day: Zaftig

I love discovering new words, we stumbled upon this one after playing a game of scrabble and we were wondering what good words you could make using the letter 'Z'. So out came the dictionary and a fascinating perusal of the latter sections of our OED. My new favourite word is Zaftig, the Yiddish word for pleasantly plump or voluptuous, coming from the word juicy. I love finding out where words come from, this ones seems particularly appropriate!

I originally got this lovely photo here on a Plus Model Magazine, and I added my own definition on top. Feel free to share the love of zaftig ladies, just please link back to this post if you are using this image.

Unusual Word of the Day: Accubation

I'm quite partial to unusual words, they always draw my attention when I'm reading, but sadly I tend not to come across them often enough. How can you not love words like defenestration, amanuensis, and blatherskite? So I'm starting a series on this blog to celebrate all the obscure words out there, it might even make me use them a bit more frequently!

Today it's accubation!
