Your skin is so soft and …
glabrous
Now this is an interesting word. Is it good to be glabrous? Sounds a bit like glamorous – that's a positive sign. But somehow it sound more like something with which Gollum would be associated. That's not so good …
Well, the answer is that it's pretty benign. It means having no hairs or projections. Smooth, in other words. So a pool ball is glabrous and a peach isn't.
Maybe that's where glamorous comes in. It's hard to be glamorous if you've got hairs all over your face, that's for sure.
You know, we need to get behind this word. It'd work wonders in marketing. How's this for a slogan: Rogain – The End of Cranial Glabrousness. Doesn't that just grab you?! Try and work it into your everyday conversations. "I knew you were planning to shave your poodle but you went too far; he's totally glabrous dude!" Or inject a little romance into your conversation: "Darling, your skin is so soft and glabrous."
Wow. Just so many uses.
- And that's today's word from the bird
