Insouciance

The word of the day is “insouciant!”
Carefree! Reckless! (like me)
I don’t think “insouciant” is a negation of “souciant,” but let me look it up and be certain, as I am not sure right now if being insouciant is good or bad. Of course that gets us into deep water with ethics. I don’t want to go there! It’s too early. And who cares, anyway? Not I!

Insouciance n. indifference.
Insouciant adj. blithely indifferent, carefree. From Latin via French.

So that’s why I like that word, it comes from French! Ooo-la-la!
