It’s Thursday and for that you get a two-fer! Actually, the two-fer is a result of a very crazy Wednesday, but I digress. Onward!
Today we have:
Interfenestration
a space between two windows
Considering the fabulous defenstrate… this is hardly a surprise. And yet, still a very fun word to say! Here is what exists in my office interfenestration: Two songs, two quotes, a tiara, a leafy vision board, a photo of mom, a writing mouse, an achievement, and several gifts… one from a macaw. It’s like I Spy!
and also
Jumentous
smelling strongly like a beast of burden, especially a horse. And according to google, it relates most often to the smell of its urine.

Not to be outdone, I give you 2012’s Words:
I – Illeist
J – Jentacular
Today’s #fmsphotoadayprompt: DETAIL a blanket I am trying to complete. Reminds me of sherbet.
I have some horse friends. Maybe next time we hang out I should use that word on them. lol!
A sherbet blanket! She thought it was lovely.
What fascinating words! A great theme for the challenge. :)
thank you! :D
Never heard of jumentous …and I’ve owned horses. I missed my best opportunity to use the word!
Donna, fear not, now you can write essays about that time and take liberties with the description of scents.
I learned two new words today! Next time someone is rude to me I am going to say they smell quite jumentous!
That’s so funny to learn a new word for a situation I experienced last week when I walked into a room and said it smelled like a wet horse. It was jumentous in there.
Patricia – that is fabulous! Now, you can retell the story with the proper lingo! *whinny*
Interfenestration, I wonder if it comes from the French word for window, “fenêtre” and the French word for between, which is “Entre”? If so, interfenestration makes perfect sense! I love your word play on this blog! My mother in law, who is Welsh, has a word I love when something smells bad,
“Pongy!” And it seems to fit whenever she uses it. I think I’d have to train myself to remember to say “Wow that sure smells jumentous in here.” Lol! Unless I think of using it like “anothercleanslate” mentioned!
I am certain it comes from fenetre for window, not sure about entre because it sounds like an Anglicized word to me, but yes… certainly French for window.
Love Pongy!
I don’t think I can even pronounce these words – lol. Jumentous is super awesome. The picture with it is fantastic.
