SUNDAY FAVORITES

Here is a re-post of something I originally wrote about in April this year.
You too can join Sunday Favorites over at Happy To Design. Visit as many of the posts as you can and be sure to leave a comment.




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)

adj.

Inducing vomiting; vomitive.

n. pl. vom·i·to·ries

1. Something that induces vomiting.

2. An aperture through which matter is discharged.

3. One of the tunnellike (sic) passages of an amphitheater or stadium between the seats and the outside wall or passageway.
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.
• So dear those curse words are coming out of your vomitory again. Potty mouth.
