Is this a new word to anyone but me? Do ya`ll use this in your everyday vernacular? Well it is new to me, I read this world several days ago, and I looked up the definition and was glad to learn a new word. What`s funny is that i have now seen this word used in 4 different SH stories all by different authors this week. Wow maybe I`ve heard it all my life and just never payed attention to it.
Don`t you love my new icon?
