| Chimerical- word for the
day....
Quote:
chimerical \ky-MER-ih-kuhl; -MIR-; kih-\, adjective:
1. Merely imaginary; produced by or as if by a wildly fanciful imagination; fantastic; improbable or unrealistic.
2. Given to or indulging in unrealistic fantasies or fantastic schemes.
<snip-quotes>
Chimerical is ultimately derived from Greek khimaira, "she-goat" or "chimera," which in Greek mythology was a monster having the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a dragon.
I saw this at Dictionary.com and thought it might inspire a lively
topic. Makes me think of the web that is my mind at times.
Any takers?
Sugarplum dreams,
