LEIGHANN LORD'S WOTD GETS A NAME & LOGO!

6/2/2012

If you're a fan on FaceBook or if you follow me on Twitter then you know I do a daily post called "The Word of the Day" WOTD. I give you a word, it's dictionary definition, and then the "Leighann" definition: an alternate. That's AltDef. It's the perfect blend of my skills as a stand-up comedian, writer, word lover, and former English major. It started back in 2011 as an outlet for my geekiness and as a way to celebrate the English language. Pulling from a variety of sources including Dictionary.com it's a fun way of expanding people's vocabulary and reminding them that language can be fun and fungible. 

So what's an actual AltDef? 

WOTD: maladroit\mal-uh-DROYT\ adj. lacking skill, cleverness, or resourcefulness in handling situations || An android with a bad attitude.

WOTD: validate\VAL-uh-dayt\ verb: to make legally valid : ratify || Going on a date with a valley girl.

WOTD: assay \a-SEY\ verb: To examine or analyze. || How Foghorn Leghorn starts every sentence.

Check out my AltDefs every day on 
FaceBook, Twitter, and all fine social media outlets where cool concepts are enjoyed.
