3 word-related thingies

  1. The Spanish word for carrot is zanahoria. Zanahoria! Makes me chuckle every time I see it. Such an elaborate, exotic word for our humble little carrot. Zanahoria!
  2. Bedclothes! So much better than the word linens. The bed is wearing bedclothes. So fancy. I wonder if the bed pretends the flat sheet is a cape.
  3. I like how other languages call seafood fruits of the sea. Sea fruit! Cute, and a little weird.

    The word “zanahoria” is pretty wonderful. I always thought it would make a nice name for a girl. When I was a girl, we had a cat named Carrots. In retrospect, she might have been a lot nicer as Zanahoria.
