New Words 24

on
Came across some more "new" words & phrases.

This is set #24 of these that I've posted here on MattChat.


FRIENDLY DISCLAIMER:
As with previous posts, these are not necessarily "brand new"...... just new to me:  words that I've come across recently which I do not recall hearing before.

(I sure hope that one of the words below wasn't included on an earlier "New Words" post...... 'cause that forgetfulness would make me look just a tad bit OLD)



gravestone recipe: as a tribute/memorial, the recipe of a food item for which the decedent was well-known is engraved on his/her tombstone

Equilux: day and night are each 12 hours;  in other words, sunrise & sunset are exactly 12 hours apart (i.e. 7:02am and 7:02pm)


scorigami: a final score that has never occurred before in the history of the NFL


climate compensation: an environmental stewardship philosophy based on the premise that businesses, organizations, and citizens make a voluntary economic contribution to initiatives that capture greenhouse gasses at a level equal to the emissions they create

And there you go...... 10 new ones you can use in your everyday conversations.  Maybe?



Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
