Sometimes random words enter my brain and I think to myself, hm, I wonder what that means. I know some pretty interesting words if you know what I’m sayin’, but honest to gawd – I had no idea on a certain one until a few minutes ago. I’m a fan of learning and using new words and occasionally will even open up the dictionary or thesaurus to a random page just to learn something new.
The word cunnilingus kept popping into my brain today and I wondered what it meant, or if it was even a real word at all. Perhaps I’d heard somebody say it recently in a conversation or something and it lingered in my subconscious until today when for whatever reason it popped into my noggin from out of nowhere. Cunnilingus I said in my head. Hm, sounds like some sort of sea creature, maybe? I dunno. Cunnilingus. Is it the name of a Greek God? Cunnilingus. An athelete? A school somewhere?
I pert near asked a co-worker what this meant, but didn’t want to come off sounding like some sort of idiot. Curiosity finally got the best of me and I headed over to dictionary.com to peep the meaning behind this word. Upon learning what it meant, I cleared my throat, put my headphones on and quickly got back to work as if none of this wondering had ever happened, telling myself oh yeah, I knew that.
Whenever my vocabulary expands, I always like to use new words I learn as much as possible in conversations to work it into my brain so I don’t forget it. This one’s a little different though.. I probably won’t be weaving it into a conversation at Thanksgiving Dinner or an associates meeting at work anytime soon.
Um… Yeah.
