Word of the day

Today's word is TRUMPERY.

Trumpery [TRUMP-uh-ree] noun

1: worthless nonsense

2: trivial or useless articles: junk

Example:
She lugged the old trunk up the stairs to her room but it was so heavy she couldn't even get it up onto the bed. She sat down on the floor with crossed legs and grinned as she slowly undid the locks on both sides and then grabbing the handled tossed the lid open. Her grandmother had given it to her and with glee and all the excitement that a 10 year old had for adventure, she riffled through the trumpery that filled the every corner of the old musty relic that was now hers.

Did you know?
"Trumpery" derives from the Middle English "trumpery" and ultimately from the Middle French "tromper," meaning "to deceive." (You can see the meaning of this root reflected in the French phrase "trompe-l'oeil"—literally, "deceives the eye"—which in English refers to a style of painting with photographically realistic detail.) "Trumpery" first appeared in English in the mid-15th century with the meanings "deceit or fraud" (a sense that is now obsolete) and "worthless nonsense." Less than 100 years later, it was being applied to material objects of little or no value. The verb phrase "trump up" means "to concoct with the intent to deceive," but there is most likely no etymological connection between this phrase and "trumpery."

Had a great birthday! I chose to work and not take the day off but no biggie, I'll save the day for something better...like when my Man comes to visit We got our first snow on Saturday...I'm really not fond of the stuff lol. I prefer to go to it and play then go home where its not snowing after I'm done! Oh well...guess I'll be warm and cozy some place sunny some day. Hope y'all had a fabulous day!
