Word of the Day

From wordsmith.org:
omphaloskepsis (om-fuh-lo-SKEP-sis) noun
Contemplation of one’s navel.
[From Greek omphalos (navel) + skepsis (act of looking, examination).
Ultimately from the Indo-European root spek- (to observe) which is
also the ancestor of suspect, spectrum, bishop (literally, overseer),
despise, espionage, telescope, spectator, and spectacles.]
I’m going to use this. I’m just not sure how yet.

Love that idea. Perhaps that can become my blog-owner title.
