Welcome to another awesome edition of Word Woman's weekly workout. Are you feeling brain-dead from the stress of holiday preparations? Has too much shopping left you in a fog? Refresh your mental browser with the word of the week:Rachisagra : [rack-uh-sag-ruh] (noun) pain in the spine; from a Greek word meaning 'spine'. -- "More Weird and Wonderful Words", Erin McKean, ed., Oxford University Press, 2003.
Example: Telling your friends that you suffer from rachisagra sounds so much more impressive than simply admitting that your mattress springs need to be replaced.
Happy Holidays from Word Woman!
