Surge or Splurge
The Dictionary is telling me to spend money! This is the advice I got: You should allow yourself to splurge once in a while!
Splash
splurge
spend
surge
How are these words related?!
Splurge means to spend extravagantly or ostentatiously. Wow! 2 more extravagant words!
The word splurge was first used around 1830, and may be a combination of spend and surge. Perhaps spend and urge?
But where did the lovely L come from. This is an unusual combination of letters, S-P-L, with an interesting sound. Onomatopeia gives us "splash" which sounds like a wave crashing on some rocks.
Splurge is the word of the day as I heard it somewhere this morning...
Although I do not consider myself extravagant, I do get the urge to splurge once in a while!
