Today’s Word-of-the-Day Words, Uh Quiz

This time around it’s either a word-of-the-day in word quiz format or a word quiz with only two words. Of the day. Making it a semi quiz. Or maybe a demi quiz. Whatever it is this is all she wrote for this entry. Though she is me and not a she, but that’s the figure of speech and who am I to say otherwise? They also say brevity is the soul of wit. So rather than paltry, think of this entry as… who am I kidding, it’s a couple of useless words you’ll never need. Still, there is the pointless animation. Enjoy.
