Petrichor, Cromulent, and Other Words the Internet Loves
The internet loves these words—whether they’re in the dictionary or not
Definition: “A pleasant, distinctive smell frequently accompanying the first rain after a long
period of warm, dry weather in certain regions.” (Oxford English Dictionary)
“one of my favorite word is “Petrichor” i don’t say it a lot though because people just like
to use things with out even knowing the meaning behind it this word mean a lot to me.”
tumblr user. The OED appears to be the only dictionary that has seen fit to include this term, which was
coined in 1964 and first appeared in the journal Nature. It is in many ways the perfect example
of this certain type of word: it describes succinctly a thing that many of us thought there was no
single word for, is likely to confuse almost anyone you use it with, and can instantly shift the
topic of your conversation from what you were talking about to the word you just used.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a HAPPY WEEKEND people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things
that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go
to work and don’t have time for all that. George Carlin
f you had to identify in one word the reason why the human race has not
achieved and never will achieve its full potential, that word would be “meetings.”
Dave Barry
As I have gotten older and wiser I discovered that there are six things that
I really loved about my job. Pay day, lunch time, quitting time,
vacation time, holidays, and of course retirement.

Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter
clearer, he said: “Now, students, if I stood on my head the blood, as you know,
would run into it, and I should turn red in the face.”
“Yes, sir,” the boys said.
“Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary
position the blood doesn’t run into my feet?”
A little fellow shouted, “‘It’s because yer feet ain’t empty.”
Thursday’s’ Movie Trivia of the day!
Which “Baywatch” actor appeared in “Killer Klowns from Outer Space”?
Answer: The correct answer was John Allen Nelson
Due to the sling rope snapping, the scene in which we witness the car being thrown off the cliff ended up being far less amazing than originally intended.
John Allen Nelson also played Paul the wine guy on “Friends”. John has also appeared in the TV series “24”, playing a character called Walt Cummings, and has also produced two films: “Angel of Desire” and “Shelter”.
