Word of
the week:
Parsnip- noun, a plant, Pastinaca sativa, cultivated varieties of which have a large, whitish, edible root; the root of this plant.
So I was out of ideas for a word of the week this Monday, that is, until I ordered chinese food tonight. You can thank my fortune cookie for this one. "Hard words break no bones, fine words butter no parsnips". What the heck is that supposed to mean!?
