The G-Spot
I don't want to be crass or crude, but I'm thinking about changing the name of my newsletter and blog to "The G-Spot." Because my name starts with G.
My first newsletter was "Gloria's Good News." I guess I've always liked alliteration. But it lacked pizzazz. This idea came to me to call it G-Spot and promote The G-spot. I really don't want to be risque, though. Please let me know what you think.
I think I will get lots of comments on this blog. If so, it may mean that I will change the name from Verbal Impact to The G-Spot. Or maybe just have a special article in each edition called The G-Spot. Not sure. I would like your feedback.
Thank you!
And now back to our regular feature:
Crass--adj. grossly vulgar or stupid. From Latin.
Crude--adj. Unrefined, raw, immature, unripe, unfinished, lacking taste, unrefined. From Latin, too.
I was thinking I'd rather be crass than crude, but according to the denotation, I'd rather be crude.
The problem is that crude sounds like rude and that gives it a slightly different flavor...

Serendipity
Serendipity. Where did this come form? Not Greek. Not Latin. But it was coined in 1754 by Horace Walpole, in a book called The Princes of Serendip.
It sounds a little bit whimsicle.
It means the faculty of happening upon fortunate discoveries while not looking for them.
Sounds like good luck. Some synonyms for serendipitous: fortuitous, fortunate, opportune and unexpected.
It says in my dictional The word was coined in 1754. That's an interesting use of the word coin.
Coin as a verb means to make, originate, or invent.
Coinage(noun)is the making of metal currency, or the making of words!
It would be serendipitous to find a purse full of coins!

Glut
Glut. Not a pleasant sound, for something that means abundance!
Glut. One syllable for an unlimited, bountiful word.
Too bad it's related to gluttony. That's definitely a negative. It's even one of the seven deadly sins!
Glut --n. surplus, excess. Not from Latin or Greek! From Old French.
Glutton -- n. 1. one who eats to excess. 2. one who has an enormous appetite for something.
gluttonous -- adj. greedy. or would hungry be better? Voracious, insatiable, and greedy are the synonyms in my thesaurus.
I'm not sure how this simple word accumulated so much negativity, but I thnk Glut is a perfectly nice, succinct word for Abundance. I think I would like to use it as an acronym for my next business project: Gloria's Luxurious Unlimited Table. Good name for a Restaurant. Gloria's Luxurious Unlimited Time, Test, Telephone. Tickle? Time Table. Text. Testament (maybe I could use it as a title for a book). Truth? Talk. Type. Tutorial.
Stay tuned for more of Gloria's Luxurious Unlimited Truths!
