Word of the Day

I am a total nerd sometimes. You should know that.

I reference Merriam-Webster Dictionary several times a day and even get the Word of the Day sent to me. I try to use each word at least once throughout the course of the day… most of the time I don’t though. Just to keep it real.

I would like to share today’s word (which is actually a phrase, sometimes they do that) with you.

Gild the Lily
GILD-thuh-LILL-ee

*I love that they had to put thuh*

Meaning: to add unnecessary ornamentation to something beautiful in its own right

How great is that, I love it!!!! What a beautiful word/phrase of the day!!!

**Please reference the first line… Simple pleasures.**
