Welcome to another fun-filled installment of Word Woman's Weekly Work-Out! While you're busy stretching your stomach with all of that great Thanksgiving food tomorrow, why not stretch your mind by learning a new word or two? Here's the Word of the Week to start things off for you:
Atrabilarian: a sad or gloomy individual; an irritable and bad-tempered person (adj. - atrabilious) -- "-Ologies and -Isms", Howard G. Zettler, Ph. D., Ed., Gale Research Company, 1978.
Example: May your Thanksgiving feast be bountiful and blessedly free of atrabilarians. Happy Holidays!

I just want to say how much I enjoy reading these. I don't always have time each week to check, but do like to browse through past posts, just to see what interesting words you have found. Way to go Laura! (am thinking of running something similar in our monthly newsletter)
