Word For The Day, Tuesday, December 27, 2011
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
hiemal{HAHY-uh-muhl}
-adj
Of or pertaining to winter; wintry.
[Hiemal is derived from the Sanskrit word hima meaning “cold, frost, snow.”].
The days are getting longer.
Neat. I’ve never heard or saw that word before.
Looking through the plane’s window: bleak, hiemal
Feeling lonely and sad, something primal
In my free New York Times
They’ve ignored Holder’s crimes
So I drop it and pick up the Sky Mall
And I'm still not getting all my work completed....
The days between Christmas and New Years are a source of hiemal ennui.
Spending too much time on Facebook?

Another reminder to not rob a store then post your stash on Facebook.
I guess that is why they are called the Hiemal-ayas.
i don’t believe in facebook, but i did send that on to my niece to ask how her husband felt about it. LOL!
aw the intelligentsia!
Did you have a buon Natale? ; ) what did yinz do?
Hiemal.
Here at the Atkinsonville Cosmic Gazzette we have had our language abilities expanded more than Spandex tights at a fat farm. So here goes with Hiemal.
Emal was this Sanskirt guy lived in the middle of the East. One cold day he took a dive into his Colder Than Nehi Pop in a Frig pool. Ol Emil’s voice went several octaves higher for a time. Went from alto to stratophonic in one minute flat. Call it the HIGH EMAL.
That’s where the hiemal came from and that himelec squeezing thing too. Tough getting Emal to breathe again, it was.
It was good. Just stayed home. Feeling a bit homesick, though. Only about a half year to go!

Good article if you haven’t already read it.
6 mo will fly by and then you will be sad about leaving there. You have the LAST TIME WE WILL DO xyz tour to begin!
Dang, and i would’ve thought they’d condemned her to life as a stripper with a name like TIFFANY... ; )
