Save The Words And A Thank You!

I was browsing around in Blogland, and came upon a post that had one of these fine certificates on it. You know I love certificates and awards and stuff. I went right over to the site, Save The Words (and then promptly had complete and total amnesia about where I was when I saw this so I can't give my bloggyfriend credit. Doh!) Anyway the premise of Save The Words is there are many words that fall into disuse and eventually are deleted from the dictionary to make room for new words. Visitors are asked to browse through a very long list, find a word you would like to adopt and then use the word as often as possible to bring it back into common use.

Those of you who have attended Catholic schools or catechism classes can imagine my shock and awe when I came upon the word "impudent." This word is among the top 10 words uttered by nuns - as in - "Mary Catherine, you impudent child, stop smirking this moment or I shall have you stand in the aisle for the rest of the class.

Sister Mary Blackendecker in shop class used this word so often it was among her top 4, falling just below God, Jesus and class dismissed. Sr. Mary Colorpalette in Art Class preferred "saucy" to "impudent", so it probably hovered around #29 in her commonly used word list. Anyway, you get the idea. Impudent getting dissed from the dictionary so Webster can add dissed?

I think NOT!


I have adopted the word impudent, and plan to use it as often as possible. The Mister is in for a surprise. If I reply or comment and use the word impudent, you will know why. If you don't, I'm in trouble and my followers box will be sorely affected. I love followers as much as I love awards and certificates.

If you will also use impudent in conversation and writing we may be able to save it. Catholicism is at risk. Nuns will be at a loss for words. So please so your part.

Saucy, impudent, or just plain ignorant? You decide.

My dear and fabulously artistic bloggyfriend, Soulbrush has given me this wonderful Sisterhood Award! I love awards. Did I mention that? Thank you so much, Soulbrush, I shall wear it proudly. I did not read the rules - on purpose- because I would like to present this award to all of the Sisters ( some of whom are also SITStas) who traveled with me on the Orient Express! This means I am awarding one right back to Soulbrush. (Her trip was particularly distressing - Senita and Joe missed the train and had to stay home with the crying quads all day.)

I hereby present the Sisterhood Award to my adventuresome, impudent and saucy Sisters!
