Oligarchy is the new word of the day.

I know I just know this may come back to bite me but I’m not know to back away from a confrontation. So with that little tidbit of information I came across this word. So the meaning of (al’I garke) is a form of government in which the ruling power belongs to a few persons. Isn’t that’s what we have? We vote them in and then gripe about them while they are in office. Crazy world isn’t it? Have a great day

Inanition is the word of the day.

Inanition is the word of the day.

Trust me I don’t have this affiliation although sometimes I wish I did. Most of us as agents do not suffer from this but some do, the question is do you suffer from this? The old saying the mind is willing but the body isn’t might be a good thought while you learn its meaning. The meaning of {in’e nish’en} is lack of strength or spirit. Sooooo do you have agents who show up for work but you can tell they just don’t have it in them any longer? What say you?

Who won the Super Bowl of commercials this year?

Eli Manning’s pass to Mario Manningham wasn’t the only memorable moment of last Sunday’s Super Bowl.

On possibly the most anticipated day for television commercials every year — here are the top five as voted by viewers in the USA Today Facebook Super Bowl Ad Meter.

The number one ad was Dorito’s “Sling Baby,” followed by, in order

Bud Light’s “Weego”

Kia’s “A Dream Car. For Real Life”

Chrysler’s “It’s Halftime in America”

M&Ms’ “Ms. Brown/Just My Shell”

Surprisingly, two of the most anticipated commercials didn’t make the top five:

Volkswagen’s follow-up to last year’s Ad of the Year, “The Force” — “Dog Strikes Back” — landed at number 7 (although it received the highest rating on Fox Sports)

And Honda’s homage to Ferris Bueller (“Bueller, Bueller?”) dropped in at #16

So which one was your favorite???

Haulm is the new word of the day.

In olden times and still in some places today homes are made of this. While I think this is a good thing for some places do you think it is still useful now? Have you had your thinking caps on and figured out the meaning of the word? If not don’t feel lonesome so if you haven’t again don’t feel lonesome. The meaning of {hom} is straw or hay used for thatching, bedding. Interesting word isn’t it?

Tchotchke is the new word of the day

That’s right you heard it here first. The origin of the word is Yiddish and I read it in a book last night. Not that I was born last night (actually night before last) but who’s counting. Anyway I had I just had to look this one up and low and behold here it is. The meaning of (chach’ke) is a knickknack, collectible, trinket. So how many clients have you had that absolutely refused to get rid of their trinkets?
