Deep in the weeds


Words I had to check this week…

Prinks … drinks served previous to a dinner or special occasion, at a separate location


Perseveration …. the pathological, persistent repetition of a word, gesture or act, often associated with brain damage or schizophrenia

Emendations …. an alteration designed to correct or improve

Scion … a shoot or twig, especially one cut for grafting or planting, a cutting.

Remoulade … a French cold sauce based on mayonnaise. Similar to tartar sauce.

Rice spaces … Rice University, established Rice Space Institute, thus slots available for Space Force candidates

--ALL the above words used so far at the US conventions.
