Word of the Day

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

I want to give credit once more to the website from whence I pinch these words: Word Genius . To be clear, I do know that from and whence, used together, is considered redundant.  However, I'm using it anyway.

As always, just use the word of the day in a few sentences and post in the comments.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2

Fogbow

[FAWG-boh]Part of speech: noun

Origin: mid-19th century

• A rainbow made of fog droplets; a white rainbow
• An arc or circle of white or yellow seen against the fog

Examples of Fogbow in a sentence

• The children were so startled to see a fogbow that they called it a ghost rainbow. 
• Keep your eyes peeled on an overcast morning; you might be lucky to see a fogbow. 

About Fogbow

You’re likely to see a fogbow when the sun is breaking through the fog, or frequently over the ocean. Sailors sometimes call fogbows “seadogs.” You might also hear it referred to as a cloudbow, mistbow, or white rainbow.

Did you Know?

A fogbow is an almost identical meteorological phenomena to a rainbow, just lacking color. They are both formed from sunlight and moisture and can be seen opposite the sun. But while rainbows use the water droplets in the air to display a range of colors, the fogbow appears white because the water droplets in fog are so small.

Okay, I may have rec'd this one previously, but with Halloween in our rear view mirror, it's appropriate to have a costume drama on the reading list.  This is just a romp, quite literally, and something I hope you'll enjoy reading, possibly for the first time and, if it's your second or third go around, many thanks.

**Please forgive the incorrect usage of the word 'satrap'. I do know it's supposed to be satrapy, honest.
