Word of the day May 13
 

The Word of the Day for May 13 is:

meshuggener • \muh-SHOO-guh-ner ("OO" as in "foot," not as in "boot")\ • (noun) a foolish or crazy person

A little more information about today’s word:
From "bagel" and "chutzpah" to "shtick" and "yenta," Yiddish has given English many a colorful term over the years. "Meshuggener" is another example of what happens when English interprets that rich Jewish language. "Meshuggener" comes from the Yiddish "meshugener," which in turn derives from "meshuge," an adjective that is synonymous with "crazy" or "foolish." English speakers have used the adjective form, "meshuga" or "meshugge," to mean "foolish" since the late 1800s; we've dubbed foolish folk "meshuggeners" since at least 1900.

My sentence:
"Don't be a meshuggener, David," said Ilene. "Even an idiot would realize that salesman is just trying to take advantage of you with a bogus offer."

Word of the day May 14
 

The Word of the Day for May 14 is:

widow's cruse • \WIH-dohz-KROOZ or WIH-dohz-KROOSS\ • (noun) an inexhaustible supply

A little more information about today’s word:
A cruse is a small metal hanging lamp, such as the one featured in the biblical tale of Elijah (1 Kings 17:8-16). In that story, the prophet was sent to a poor widow who had little food and only a single cruse for light. He asked her to share her food and light with him; she did, and was rewarded with an ever-burning lamp and an inexhaustible food supply. The term "widow's cruse" recalls the bountiful outcome of that tale.

My sentence:

Word of the day May 15
 

The Word of the Day for May 15 is:

gallivant • \GAL-uh-vant\ • (verb) 1. to go about usually ostentatiously or indiscreetly with members of the opposite sex; 2. to travel, roam, or move about for pleasure

A little more information about today’s word:
Back in the 14th century, a young man of fashion (or a ladies' man) was called a "gallant." By the late 1600s, "gallant" was being used as a verb to describe the process a paramour used to win a lady's heart; "to gallant" became a synonym of "to court." Etymologists think that the spelling of the verb "gallant" was altered to create today's term for the behavior of a roguish Romeo: "gallivant." Nowadays, "gallivant" is used as much to describe irresponsible wandering as indiscreet romancing.

My sentence (using definition #2):
"It's just like Peter to quit a great job and go gallivanting across the country without a care in the world or a dollar in his pocket," said Myra.

Word of the day May 16
 

The Word of the Day for May 16 is:

funicular • \fyoo-NIH-kyuh-ler\ • (noun) a cable railway ascending a mountain; especially, one in which an ascending car counterbalances a descending car

A little more information about today’s word:
You may have fun on a funicular, but the word is not related to "fun" (which comes to us from an English dialect verb meaning "to hoax"). The noun "funicular" descends from an earlier adjective "funicular," meaning "relating to a cord under tension." It was also influenced by "funiculaire," a French word used for a type of railway that is dependent upon cables (or on "cords under tension"). Ultimately, these terms trace to the Latin noun "funiculus," meaning "small rope." "Funicular" first appeared in print as an adjective in English in 1664; the noun has been with us since the early 20th century.

My sentence:
"For a panoramic view of the Riviera and the old forts surrounding the city, take the funicular from Largo della Zecca up to Monte Righi."
-- The Washington Post, August 25, 2002

Based on Merriam-Webster's Collegiate® Dictionary, 10th Edition.

Word of the day May 19
 

The Word of the Day for May 19 is:

myrmidon • \MER-muh-dahn\ • (noun) a loyal follower; especially, a subordinate who executes orders unquestioningly or unscrupulously

A little more information about today’s word:
The Myrmidons, legendary inhabitants of Thessaly in Greece, were known for their fierce devotion to their king, Achilles, who led them in the Trojan War. "Myrmex" means "ant" in Greek, an image that evokes small and insignificant workers mindlessly fulfilling their duty. Whether the original Myrmidons were given their name for that reason is open to question. The "ant" association is strong, however. Some say the name is from a legendary ancestor who once had the form of an ant; others say the Myrmidons were actually transformed from ants. In any case, since the 1600s, we've employed "myrmidon" in its not-always-complimentary, ant-evoking, figurative sense.

My sentence:
When DeVour, Inc. was accused of unsavory dealings, even company myrmidons like Bruce were held accountable.

Based on Merriam-Webster's Collegiate® Dictionary, 10th Edition.
