Last week’s WOW (Word of the Week) was pettifogger<\/a>. Merriam-Webster Online<\/a> says that pettifogger is:\u00a0a lawyer whose methods are\u00a0petty, underhanded, or disreputable or\u00a0one given to quibbling over trifles. Ouch. I think that last part could apply to me when I’m insisting my kids keep their elbows off the dinner table!<\/p>\n

Today’s WOW is risible. Here are my guesses for risible:<\/p>\n

risible: (\u02c8<\/span>ri-z\u0259-b\u0259l)<\/span> 1. the ability for bread to rise 2. the ability of a woman to be Stockard Channing in\u00a0Grease\u00a0<\/em>3. the factor for developing Reye’s Syndrome after taking pain relievers<\/p>\n

What’s your guess? Remember that the most accurate guess gets 5 points. The most creative guess gets 3 points and the second most accurate guess gets 1 point. Use this page<\/a> to submit your guess. Those with the most points at the end of the year gets an MIP one-of-a-kind t-shirt! You know you need yet another t-shirt!<\/p>\n
