My new favorite word. Why? I actually have no idea. I rediscovered it watching House: MD and then again in a blog. It just tickles my fancy. It’s like bhindi (hindi for okra). I was obsessed with it as a 2 year old (according to mom’s spectacularly illustrated stories about me running around in a home-made, bed sheet cape, screaming, ‘bhindi, bhindi!’ and laughing). 😀
What’s yours?
