wiseacre    noun | WYZE-ay-ker

Definition

: one who pretends to knowledge or cleverness; especially : smart aleck

 

Given the spelling and definition of wiseacre, you might guess that the word derives from the sense of wise meaning "insolent" or "fresh"—the sense that also gives us wise guy, wisecrack, and wisenheimer. But, in fact, wiseacre came to English by a different route: it is derived from the Middle Dutch wijssegger, meaning "soothsayer." Wiseacre first appeared in English way back in the 16th century, while the "insolent" sense of wise and the words formed from it are products of the 19th century. The etymologies of wiseacre and wise are not completely distinct, however; the ancestors of wiseacre are loosely tied to the same Old English root that gave us wise.

 

That is a fun word. I like it!

Oof, I can hear snow falling off the roof, and we have some massive icicles. It's still below freezing, but only just, so the sun is melting everything a bit. Scary.

Since it often seems to be missing, in this forum often, and on GA all of the time -  it's lack is what forces me into silence most often - and because the motivational quote means lot to me, i added a second word of the day:

 

hu·mil·i·ty

noun

\(h)yü-ˈmi-lə-tē\

 

plural -es

1

:  the quality or state of being humble in spirit :  freedom from pride or arrogance <we all need … humility in the face of what we do not understand — Nicola Chiaromonte>

 

 

 

Humility is expected from subs. we are supposed to practice it. i try to ... i'm not always perfect and i am reminded of that when it happens.

 

[Thorn Wilde]

You're not wrong, tim. I think we could all do with practicing some humility, in all aspects of our lives. I'm probably not the best at it, but I do try...

Thanks, Mac.  I haven't figured out the notifications yet. When I think I have, they seem to not do what I wanted. Why do I get notifications when I input, don't send them?  LOL.

Right. Coffee in me, time for work. See you all later. 

[MichaelS36]

So humility a word for today. Perhaps tim, another topic for your Submissive's Journey?  I understand what you mean about it being lacking sometimes. I would suggest you read more about it. Think about it. Then I'd like to read what you come up with.

Have a nice day, both of you.  

[Mikiesboy]

i will be around but i have some things to get on with ...

[Thorn Wilde]

Suddenly started thinking... 'Have a nice day.' If you think about it, it sounds kind of like an order, doesn't it? 'Have a nice day!' Like, what if you fail at having a nice day? Do you apologise? 'Sorry, I know you told me to have a nice day, but my day sucked. I'll try to do better tomorrow.'

I'd rather think of it as like a hope or a prayer. If I'm not lazy I would usually type "Hope you have a nice day!" but most of the time it's just "Have a nice day!!".

I'm definitely struggling with this. I'm quite a proud person at times.. The regret always comes late.

Well that's the thing...we all are proud. But subs are to be humble, and obedient and so we work to be that way.  it's the ego thing that got to me other morning on that one thread... what are your fav. comments.  i joined in because i thought it would be nice to show the comment i remember most..which was very humbling frankly.  Yet, it turned into an ego fest..so i never returned to read more.

Good morning everyone...

 

The day started out rather bleak, but now the sky has cleared and it is sunny, so I’m thinking it will be a good day. I hope it will be that way for all of you.  

 

I’m going to finish my coffee, so I’ll see you laterz...
