Word of the day

Today's word is CINEAST.

Cineast [SIN-ee-ast] noun: a devotee of motion pictures; also: moviemaker

Example:
He considered himself to be quite knowledgeable in regards to the film industry but he met his match in the young cineast and he was also captured by her beautiful blue eyes and laughter as they talked about movie after movie late into the night.

Did you know?
"Cineast" is a French borrowing that made its American premiere in the mid-1920s. The French spliced together "ciné" and "-aste" to create "cinéaste," a word for a filmmaker or movie director. "Ciné" in French is just another word for "cinema," and "-aste" is a suffix that appears in words like "gymnaste" and "enthousiaste." "Cinéaste" underwent several changes once it was established in English. Some writers anglicized its spelling, shortening "-aste" to "-ast" (although "cineaste" and "cinéaste" are also still used). Others began to use "cineast" to mean "film buff," and that's the sense that is most common today.

An interesting word. I think my is a bit of a cineast, he loves talking about actors and actresses and movies has a vast knowledge of it all. Is there a word for someone who is like this but with music, he would be that too lol. Anyway I'm almost done with my job application stuff and hopefully will be turning it in by tomorrow night. I'm anxious to get it all over with and hopefully get an interview and be offered the job so I can discuss an increase in the salary to match what I'm making now or at least not such a huge pay cut. I find it interesting that there are state jobs that don't have union representation too. Not sure yet how I feel about that lol. I take it for granted that the union is there but have never really used it for much. Anyway its been raining and storming here since last week, hopefully it'll clear off next weekend for the huge community party out at the lake. Its called Ward Stock since the lake is Ward Lake and its just a bunch of local bands playing while families enjoy the last weekend of summer before the Labor Day holiday and then later in the evening they call it the adult party where its ok to drink booze and yell and get loud lol. Should be fun! Hope y'all had a great weekend
