SweeetAnj's Word of the Day, 6/10

Word of the Day:

BADITUDE
noun

def. Need I define this? An amalgam of "bad " and "attitude", often infectious, but often used as a defense mechanism (see also PROTECTIVE PESSIMISM).

e.g. Although the producers were evenly split on which actress to hire, they chose Anjali because they really didn't want to deal with the other actress' baditude on set.

Puppy Love of the best kind

Yesterday, after over 30 years of wanting to (which is impressive, since I'm only 27...ahem), I finally took the plunge into puppy ownership. Or puppy mamahood.

This may not be the most eloquent post because I have spent the last 24 hours talking to my foxy new best friend and most of my speech has been relegated to very simple terms like "poop" and "leave it", not to mention more nicknames than my 8 year old niece has given to her stuffed toys. So, let me just letcha know...I'm in love. The best kind of love. The kind that is scary and fun and overwhelming and simple and loud and quiet. Don't know why I didn't do this sooner.

Meet Charley, y'all. He's a babe.

Today's word:

PUPPERIPHERY
noun
def.: The limits of the area in which a new puppy feels comfortable exploring, sometime owner defined, but more often determined by the level of security and owner attachment he or she feels. Often these limits grow as the puppy becomes older, growing more confident and outgrowing his or her fear of abandonment.

e.g. Upon arriving at his new home, Charley the dog began sniffing around the pupperifery of the apartment, then, satisfied with his surroundings, he settled by Anjali's feet, curled up, and fell into a blissful new puppy sleep.

(Author's note: Having been told by numerous people that I have a rare knack for coining new words, a skill I know I picked up from my clever and creative multilingual mother and father, I've decided to begin sharing some of my favorites from the Official Bhimani Dictionary. Feel free to use them and maybe think of me as you do...)

Today's Word:

CHOCOVIRONMENTALISM
