I have always enjoyed learning new words — including those you would most likely never use in your day to day vocabulary, but enchant you for just a brief moment. At times, I’ve even received daily e-mails with words and their meanings. It was always a fun read, and my sister has even challenged herself to use those words in a sentence atleast once during the day.
I watched a movie yesterday that one of the characters obviously found the same delight; however, enjoyed writing them in random places for others to find and spark a little curiousity (and a trip to the local bookstore). Smile. I think most would consider this vandalism, but in the movie it was super cute. Anywho, I won’t say what the movie is in order to leave a little mystery to this blog, and hopefully put your investigative instincts into action. I LOVED the movie.
For your reading pleasure, I’ve included the meaning of these two words:
quidnunc [kwid’nuhngk]
n: a person who is eager to know the latest news and gossip; a gossip or busybody.
poppysmic [pa’pee’smik]
n: the sound produced by smacking one’s lips

Watching that movie right now on Netflix. Found your blog when Googling the words☺️
Jerry Martin says
Love Happens is the movie. Jennifer Aniston wrote the word behind a picture and Aaron Eckhart found the word. Great use of words throughout, and a funny movie.
