The Oxford English Dictionary has a fun website called What is your birthday word? Its purpose statement says:
"Which word entered the English language the year you were born? Use our birthday word generator and find out which word shares your birthday."
When you enter the year in the box and click the Go button tiles pop up on the screen, spin around, and arrange themselves into a word. Mine was Beezer, which means "excellent, great; of the very highest quality".
I ran the rest of the family's birth dates through the form and found out their words were Disco, Moonwalk, Avatar, and Emoticon.Five years ago today: Time To Take It Easy
Great fun. Thank Kathy.
