The Word of the Day for May 26, 2009 is:
Philadelphia lawyer • \fill-uh-DELL-fee-uh-LAW-yer\ • noun : a lawyer knowledgeable in the most minute aspects of the law Did you know? The reputation of the Philadelphia lawyer dates back to the colonial period, when our legal system was in its infancy and lawyers had to be especially astute. Many noted attorneys seem to have hailed from early Philadelphia, and probably no single lawyer is the source of the term, but several have been suggested. Although not strictly a lawyer, Benjamin Franklin is sometimes claimed to have inspired the expression through his cunning in diplomatic negotiations with the British and French. Another possible source is the Scottish-American Philadelphia attorney Andrew Hamilton, who famously got newspaper publisher John Peter Zenger acquitted of libel charges in 1735, paving the way for the principle of freedom of the press in the process. Merriam Webster Example Sentence: When they realized that their broker had cozened them to gain fatter commissions, Brad and Julia quickly hired a team of Philadelphia lawyers to comb through their financial contracts and file a lawsuit. KAGville Example Sentence: Shags was livid upon reading the definition of Philadelphia lawyer. "Wait'll they get a piece of Trinidad-Tobago litigator's stiletto shoved up their ass!"

The Word of the Day for June 01, 2009 is:
tenebrous • \TEN-uh-brus\ • adjective *1 : shut off from the light : dark, murky 2 : hard to understand : obscure 3 : causing gloom Did you know? "Tenebrous" means "obscure" or "murky," but there's nothing unclear about its history. Etymologists know that the word derives from the Latin noun "tenebrae," which means "darkness." "Tenebrous" has been used in English since the 15th century, and in the 20th century it was joined by some interesting relations. "Tenebrionid" is the name of a nocturnal beetle that is usually dark-colored and is also called a "darkling beetle." "Tenebrism" refers to a style of painting -- associated with the Italian painter Caravaggio -- in which most of the figures are engulfed in shadow but some are dramatically illuminated by concentrated light. Merriam Webster Example Sentence: "A zigzag line of windows … cuts up from the base of the building, bringing light into its once-tenebrous interior." (Philip Kennicott, The Washington Post, September 28, 2008) KAGville Example Sentence: The tenebrous mood of the Riddick clone was a Machiavellian component of their personality, sometimes a frustration, often a titillation.

Had to go back to July 12th for something interesting...
The Word of the Day for July 12, 2009 is: usufruct • \YOO-zuh-frukt\ • noun *1 : the legal right of using and enjoying the fruits or profits of something belonging to another 2 : the right to use or enjoy something Did you know? Thomas Jefferson said, "The earth belongs in usufruct to the living." He apparently understood that when you hold something in usufruct, you gain something of significant value, but only temporarily. The gains granted by usufruct can be clearly seen in the Latin phrase from which the word developed, "usus et fructus," which means "use and enjoyment." Latin speakers condensed that phrase to "ususfructus," the term English speakers used as the model for our modern word. "Usufruct" has been used as a noun for the legal right to use something since at least the 1630s. Any right granted by usufruct ends at a specific point, usually the death of the individual who holds it. Merriam Webster Example Sentence: Dorothy's will bequeathed one-third of her estate to her husband; the remaining two-thirds was bequeathed to him as a lifetime usufruct, later to be donated to charity. KAGville Example Sentence: Rose sat and pondered the Word of the Day, wondering what to write. "Riddicks belong in usufruct to womenkind" Dia said, reading over Rose's shoulder. Rose nodded. "Okay, that'll do."

The Word of the Day for September 08, 2009 is:
marmoreal • \marh-MOR-ee-ul\ • adjective : of, relating to, or suggestive of marble or a marble statue especially in coldness or aloofness Did you know? Most marble-related words in English were chiseled from the Latin noun "marmor," meaning "marble." "Marmor" gave our language the word "marble" itself in the 12th century. It is also the parent of "marmoreal," which has been used in English since the mid-1600s. "Marbleize," another "marmor" descendant, came later, making its print debut around 1859. Merriam Webster Example Sentence: Mary sat silently in the corner of the room, her face expressing nothing but marmoreal calm. KAGville Example Sentence: Crash sat silently in the corner of the room, her face expressing nothing but marmoreal calm, hoping Rose would not notice her and realize she was the culprit regarding the recent damage to the lawn.
