As you all know I am a big ol’ nerd. The bigest part of my “nerddom” is my love of words and reading. I thought it would be fun every day that (Monday-Friday) we should learn a new word or brush up on some old vocabulary we may have forgotten. I will present a word with its definition, then we will try to write the silliest most ridiculous sentences you can come up with. Foolishness and learning are a match made in hell heaven. This will be fun. Some days I may even write a silly haiku with the words. Please join in, I promise it will be loads of fun. Second word y’all, write you silly sentence or haiku in the comments:

penchant

\ PEN-chunt \  , noun;

1. Inclination; decided taste; a strong liking.

Origin:

Penchant comes from the present participle of French pencher “to incline, to bend,” from (assumed)Late Latin pendicar, “to lean,” from Latin pendere , “to weigh.”

I have a penchant for North Carolina.

my silly sentence:

My Big Pun Remix: I’m not a player, I just have a penchant for crushing.
