QUOTIDIAN... it's a word that looks and sounds more important than it is. It doesn't sound at all like its meaning. It doesn't deserve capital letters. But I want to start using it.
'My day was pretty quotidian. How was yours?'
'This wine is fairly quotidian.'
(Mmmm. Perhaps it's too poetic for everyday use.)
'Quotidian traffic halted her progress...'
(that's more like it but rather pretentious)
I hand you this word for my Q-day and challenge you to use it in a few sentences.
(No cheating!)
There's nothing quotidian about your blog.While everyone else is writing a poem you've taken on an outré challenge.
ReplyDeleteDo you get the word a day from the OED?
