Warrior Words
of the Week
word or phrase to add to your army.
Dearest, darling word warriors! My most sincere apologies for the tardiness of this new word of the week. You see, I have been in the process of moving in with the person who gave me words—my mother. She has recently had a small stroke and briefly lost all of her words. She is now relearning to read and I have moved in to aid her in her recovery. This move is anything but nugatory (new-guh-tor-ee), especially for her. She needed help and I was more than happy to oblige*. Nugatory means insignificant, trivial, or unimportant. Since mom is delighted (most of the time) to have me there as assistance, that makes it not nugatory. *Bonus word: oblige (uh-blije)—doing as someone wishes or asks in order to help or please them. His efforts to lose weight by eating only donuts were nugatory.

AuthorI am Becky Lyn Rickman. I am a writer because I love words almost as much as I love the people in my life. I want to fill the world with magnificent words and then jump in and splash around in them. I live with Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy, my cats, but the only words they really love are "meat" and "gravy."
