Word of the day

Today's word is EFFUSIVE.

Effusive [ih-FYOO-siv] adjective

1: marked by the expression of great or excessive emotion or enthusiasm 2 archaic : pouring freely

2: characterized or formed by a nonexplosive outpouring of lava

Example:
He was not a man of many words but he seemed to be a bit effusive when he said his vows when they got married, so much so she was weeping uncontrollably through the rest of the ceremony.

Did you know?
We've used "effusive" in English to describe excessive outpourings since the 17th century. In the 1800s, geologists adopted the specific sense related to flowing lava—or to hardened rock formed from flowing lava. "Effusive" can be traced to the Latin verb "effundere" ("to pour out"), which itself comes from "fundere" ("to pour") plus a modification of the prefix "ex-" ("out"). Our verb "effuse" has the same Latin ancestors. A person effuses when he or she speaks effusively. Liquids can effuse as well (as in "water effusing from a pipe").

Wow its been a super long week! I got news the other day that my Man will not make it over next weekend and won't be back until the end of September. I sure miss him when he's not here with me! Oh well I do try to keep myself busy. I haven't been doing well at practice lately but apparently thats all perspective cuz one of the jammers who has really been buddying up with me told me tonight that I'm doing amazing and she can see the confidence building. Well apparently thats just what I needed tonight cuz I fuckin rocked it tonight! I'm getting a bit more brave and doing some more stuff and practiced a lot tonight as we were skating just keeping my knees bent just slightly and not looking down at my feet or the floor directly in front of me. Anyway lol my back is killing me and its late and I'm so freakin tired. I hope y'all had a fabulous Thirsty Thursday. Bring on Friday and a long weekend!!!
