		<title>The Daze Word: Child Supervision</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Today&#8217;s word comes from the Urban Dictionary. I picked it because I thought it was pretty funny.
Child supervision, my fellow wordphiliacs is when an older person, especially a parent, needs a tech-savvy kid to help him/her with computers or other electronic devices. Let&#8217;s see child supervision in a sentence:
&#8220;Jimmy, could you send your kid over [...]]]></description>

		<title>Etymologize This: Hand overFist.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;ve heard the phrase &#8216;making money hand over fist&#8217; many times. Unfortunately, it was not being used to describe me. If I had to guess where the phrase came from without doing any research, I would have probably said the phrase originated with games shows. I imagine a person in one of those money filled [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Daze Word: Spelunker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Are you a spelunker? Yes? No? Maybe, if you knew what one was? Don&#8217;t worry being a spelunker is all that bad. Although it does sound like the nickname the kid in third grade, who nobody wants to sit by, would have. In fact, ]]></description>

		<title>The Daze Word: Inveigle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I love Starbucks&#8217; coffee fraps. And when I say love, that is not an exaggeration. You could probably inveigle me into almost anything if you had one of those cool, sweet, coffee treats. Helping you move, babysitting your eight kids, or driving the get away car just doesn&#8217;t seem like a bad idea when a [...]]]></description>

		<title>April is Poetry Month</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;ve been a wordphiliac for a very long time. I remember tearing open my birthday gifts on my 9th birthday to find a copy of &#8220;Where the Sidewalk Ends&#8221; by Shel Silverstein. I couldn&#8217;t have been happier to receive that collection of poems even as my cousins taunted me for being such a nerd. In [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stick and Stones May Break My Bones But&#8230;..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Words can change the world.

I believe in the power of positive thoughts and words. I respect words and I choose them very carefully because unlike some believe, I know that they are more than just words.
The above video is an interview with Japanese author, Masaru Emoto who claims to have concrete evidence of just how [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Daze Word: Woolgathering</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I do a bit of woolgathering. Ok, a lot a bit of woolgathering. Hey, I&#8217;m an only child. And sometimes all I had was my woolgathering to keep me entertained. My woolgathering could take me anywhere, even out of this galaxy or back in time. My woolgathering made me princess, ninja, and a pony.
Woolgathering my [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Daze Word: Gammon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I am reading &#8220;The Great Train Robbery&#8221; by Michael Chrichton. Normally I would not read this kind of book. It just didn&#8217;t appeal to me on any level. But I&#8217;ve joined a book club and this is this month&#8217;s selection and so I unenthusiastically started this book. And you know what? It&#8217;s a pretty good [...]]]></description>

		<title>Celebrating Dr. Suess</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Dr. Suess was born on this day in 1904. And I don&#8217;t have to mention how he revolutionized children&#8217;s books along with their imagination. The very first memory I have is of reading a Dr. Suess book with my mother. My very first recollection of my life starts with thee wordphiliac himself. 
Some wordphiliacs, or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eytomologize This: Football</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The New Orleans Saints pulled off their very first Super Bowl win yesterday. I am not a football fan but I can appreciate wanting something so bad and finally getting it. Go Saints!
The game itself has a very interesting beginning. Football can be traced back to A.D 43, to a game called harpastum. Harpastum was [...]]]></description>
