Well I learned a new word today. The word for today kids is "vomitory". I know. You never heard of it either. Sounds like a made up word for a room in a frat house.
I was checking out the floor plan at a new sports complex where I am going to a basketball game tonight and there they were....VOMITORIES.
See the red arrows I put in? There they are.
Of course I had to go and look that up. Didn't sound like something I wanted to sit near.
The definition from The Free Dictionary is:
vom·i·to·ry (vm-tôr, -tr)

So there you have it. Something delightful to talk about at dinner tonight. I want you to work the new word into your conversation once a day for 3 days. You can do it. Post them here so we can all improve our vocabularies.

- So dear I was going to bring you back nachos and a hot dog but I dropped them and they spewed all over the vomitory.
- So dear I was going to bring you back nachos and a hot dog but I thought there might be a vomitory effect due to your sensitive stomach.

ReplyDeleteDo tell where you stumbled across this word to begin with? There's gotta be a back story to that!

LOL!! Is this where the nervous football players barf before a big game?! I don't think I'll be introducing this new vocabulary word to my 6 year old -- we'll never hear the end of it if I do!!
