Neologism
It’s been an incredibly mild, gorgeous February.
The ten-day forecast shows even more gorgeous weather.
Bob decided that this would be a good time to reseed the yard.
This means that we can’t let the dog out.
She’ll need several walks a day.
It won’t be a problem in the 70⁰ afternoons.
This time of year, however, it still gets cold overnight.
This morning it was 37⁰ when I walked Blue to the dog park.
I was hoping that a rousing round of fetch would warm me up.
Blue wasn’t having any of it.
She was determined to slowly and meticulously sniff every square inch of the park.
It’s a small park.
But it felt enormous as I was popsicling in the frigid morning air.
Is popsicling a word?
Yes.
It’s the gerund form of the noun popsicle.
It means, “Freezing your a$$ off while you’re waiting for your dog to painstakingly sniff every #@$#% scent in the park.”
Popsicling – yes, it’s a word.
So is neologism, which refers to making up new words.
I can’t wait for our afternoon walk, where I will bask in the warm spring sunshine.
She can take all the time she wants to sniff.
At 70⁰, I won’t care.
