It’s soooo rainy but guess what?
I have a pair of waterproof shoes now. I’m retiring my 10+ year old riding boots (I feel like they should be ritually cremated or something). It’s the end of an era.
milquetoast- I forget if I’ve included this already, but it can’t hurt to do it again. Does it have to do with milk and toast? I don’t know. But literally refers to a ‘meek, submissive character’.
mobius- mobius strips=science magic
capsicum- bell pepper
chilly
execrable- it’s the same word in French!
platititude- almost a platypus but not quite
bellicose
harridan- basically a harpy. Rude words you shouldn’t call people
louche- ‘disreputable or sordid in a rakish/appealing sort of way’
esclavage- slavery
témoignage- testimony
origan- oregano
soigné- neat/well cared for
Oh la la: soigné!
I’m in the middle of a podcast interview with Aurelie Saada of Brigitte. A recurring motif of their new album is ‘soi soigne,’ or self-care.
