Word of the day!

Last night while I was trying–and, until 3:30 am, failing–to sleep, the word skeevy popped into my head, and it made me laugh out loud.

You know, like LOL.

LOL!

But seriously. What a word! There’s magic in there! The sk, the v, the long e in between… something onomatopoeic in all that, no?

I invite you to take skeevy out for a spin. Pick it up and examine it from different angles! Hold it up to the light!

You might want to wash your hands when you’re finished.
