The final word for this month. Possibly even the final blog for April- unless I get poked and prodded.
Let's get right to it.
Z is for Zip!
intransitive verb
1 : to move, act, or function with speed and vigor
2 : to travel with a sharp hissing or humming sound
transitive verb
1 : to impart speed or force to
2 : to add zest, interest, or life to — often used with up
3 : to transport or propel with speed
It's an established fact that I like words that are multi-purpose. Lots of definitions. Makes them more useful to me. In this language of languages that we have, things that stick around long enough gather more definitions. I think this is neat. And how things subtly alter in meaning, also fun.
So, unlike Norm, I think this language of ours is GREAT. I love me some English. It's got ZIP! (It's the only thing I can speak, besides.)
