WordSearchSeries#20: Masochist|| How long can you hold a grudge for?
Happy Hump day Lovelies….. For some reason it feels like a Friday but clearly it isn’t, so let’s learn a new word because it’s Wednesday. Today on #WordSearchSeries, we found Masochist. This word has been reoccurring in this spanish telenovela I’ve been watching (Can you tell I’m obsessed with Spanish telenovela’s? ). It is titled Los Miserables and a supposed love story where a couple keep hurting each other. In typical Phaytea Style, I looked for spoilers so I already know they finally got married. Isn’t love just beautiful? Masochist was repeated in last night’s episode and I decided to finally check the meaning. It means a person who is…

Bitter criticism or malice For example: His Father’s sudden gush of vitriol suprised the neighbours. Have you heard or used the word Vitriol before? We…

Hi hi It’s a lovely rainy morning…just perfect for hump day. I could barely get out of bed to prep for work this morning but duty called and I had to answer….plus it’s the last day before my vacation starts so I guess I have to make today work for me.

It’s absolutely new to me so when I found it while reading the news online some days back, I had to check the meaning. Here’s what I found: Kerfuffle means a commotion or fuss, especially one caused…

WordSearchSeries#9: Grotesquely + Interracial Relationships.
Hi hi…. Oh…how I’ve missed sharing new words on Wednesday #WordSearchSeries. We went on a break all April because of the #AtoZChallenge but we are back and we aim to please. Today on #WordSearchSeries, we found Grotesquely and we found it while reading Ladieswholunchreviews, a blog that participated in the #AtoZChallenge as well. Grotesquely is one of those words I see but never use. I saw it again on the first of April 2017 and decided it was time to check the meaning. Here’s what I found out: Depending on the statement, it can be used as an adjective – Grotesque For example, Jim Carrey found the grotesque mask in The Mask Movie.…

WordSearchSeries #4: Taciturn
Today on #WordSearchSeries, I found Taciturn. I came across this word while reading a feature on bellanaija (This is a popular wedding and lifestyle website in Nigeria). Before I go on, here is a little confession. I have been poked a lot about not reading books but my argument is, I read a lot of books while growing up and this is probably the reason why I snub paper back books these days. I would rather read an e-book or just stick to articles I find interesting online. For someone who loves to ‘word my thoughts’, I will try to pick the habit again…when I am ready that is. Plus I hear…
