My new favorite word

21 Oct

Anecdotage — old age, when a person may be prone to regale others with anecdotes about his past. [A humorous blend of anecdote and dotage.]

Definition from freedictionary.com.

I was listening to a podcast of This American Life about Frenemies (another hilarious word) when I heard it and I laughed out loud. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.

    Hey, I’ve just been preparing an “anectdotage” for my blog. Yikes! Glad you’re recovering and back to making us laugh.

    I added an extra “t” to anecdotage above just for flavor.

    I love “This American Life!” I’ve actually been so caught up listening to stories that when I pull into the garage, I sit out in the car and keep listening.
