The following words, and their meaning, have been the 'word of the day' on the dictionary app for the past five days.
Frigorific: (The 'g' is pronounced with the 'j' sound, but I do like the pronunciation using the 'g' as in the word 'gut'.) Causing or producing cold.
Gas light: To cause a person to doubt their sanity.
Nostomania: An irresistible compulsion to return home; intense homesickness.
Pabulum: Material for intellectual nourishment.
Degust: To taste or savor carefully or appreciatively.
The recent arctic vortex has indeed secured frigorific conditions for the holiday season. There are many, traveling the highways and byways, suffering from nostomania as they get closer to their destination.
Make sure to not gas light the chef by remembering to degust the feast with much passion and share some excellent pabulum during the meal and afterwards, keeping the snoring to a minimum.
Happy Thanksgiving!
