Word of the Day: Gregarious

Monday, March 17, 2008

Hey Guys, someone while taking the branding survey about me checked the box next to the word gregarious when describing my attributes. It seemed like a curiously funny word to me that I only vaguely knew the definition of so I looked it up.

Here is what I found.

Gre-gar-i-ous

Listen to the pronunciation of gregarious

Pronunciation: \gri-'ger-e-as\

2 a: of a plant : growing in a cluster or a colony b: living in contiguous nests but not forming a true colony —used especially of wasps and bees

Function: adjective

Gregariously,
-Mike

Hmm... I know it's supposed to be anonymous but I think that person might have been me. I don't remember. I actually first ran across the word some years ago reading about the communicable attributes of God--the ones that humans can have, since we're made in his image, as opposed to the incommunicable attributes like omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, etc. So you're expressing an attribute of God! How cool is that. ;)

AJ, it is pretty funny to me that any of my attributes could be shared with the Almighty. But thank you anyway.
