Word of the Day: Stupendous

It’s another beautiful day outside and again I am stuck in the office.  I really am jealous of people who have jobs that allow them to leave the office and enjoy an afternoon in the beauty of the outdoors.  Its days like today that I wished I had become a teacher so that I could have my summers off.  Then again, I’m pretty sure I would miss my job. Oh, well!  I guess the good Lord takes us on the path that we will most prosper, if only we listen to his guidance.  

Well, now that I have come to some sort of conclusion to my inner turmoil on the prospect of being outside, it is time to get back to work.  Which by the way people, I am really surprised that none of my readers have submitted more words for the daily quest.  I am sure it is because you have all been so busy, but that only means that you may lose out on a good chance to win a great gift.  So don’t forget to submit your word of the day.

Today’s word of the day comes to us from the very talented and word oriented Ms. Kylie Binion. She has submitted several words in the past and the word she has chosen for us today is stupendous.

I do like the word stupendous and probably should use it in my writing more often.  Yet, I get the feeling that sometimes it is just a little over the top.

Our definition comes to us from our online source at www.thefreedictionary.com
stu·pen·dous  (st-pnds, sty-)
adj.
1. Of astounding force, volume, degree, or excellence; marvelous.
2. Amazingly large or great; huge. See Synonyms at enormous.

Well, there you have it.  I think that being over the top really sums it up completely. Let me know what you think by dropping me a note here at the blog spot or checking us out on the Prime Immortals Facebook page.


That is all I have for today.  I do hope that your day has been spectacular and would go so far as to say stupendous.

Until the next time, remember to Read On!!!
