| I know it seems like a tough decision, but Dictionary.Reference.com literally picks a word out every day after midnight and on the app shows it to me some time after 9:00 A.M. it's interesting seeing which word it picks out each day like there was a word for the time between Christmas and New Year's but I didn't share because I was a lazy ass (it was on Christmas day) (also I believe the word was Christmastide) | |
