Abhorrent. What a great word, and in today’s cancel culture I get to throw it around a lot. The evening news gives me lots of reasons; who just stretched the definition of the word promise, or which big wig’s toupee just slipped and exposed their abhorrentness. Yes, abhorrentness is a word I just made up. English is living its best life, adding to itself every day.
"I would hate to miss National Maureen Lewicki half day"
What made me use the word today? It is National Gummi Worm Day. Gummi worms get a day, and I don’t even get a half day. If I ever do get a half day, I hope it’s the afternoon as I am not a morning person. I would hate to miss National Maureen Lewicki Half Day by oversleeping.
How will I celebrate National Gumi Worm Day, especially if I find them abhorrent? Well I am in luck. Today is also National Give Something Away day, so I can observe the day with astonishing joy, by giving away my Gummi Worms. Can I interest you in a handful?
