Luculent
Luculent actually means clear, concise and lucid. Funny, that. By the way, here's something weird... When I'm looking for the next word of the day for my blog, I have the strangest experience. I keep coming across words which look odd. My first reaction is, oh there's a good one. But then it turns out to be something that I already know the meaning of - like pontiff or foundling. So, for a few seconds, I think I've found a good word for the blog. Then I get a metaphorical slap when I realise it's actually not a very unusual word after all. I guess this blog game has me looking at words a little differently. Just thought I'd share that with you in case anyone found it interesting or had experienced something similar. I'm sorry if my explanation wasn't very luculent! Anyway, Sonnjea B was a runaway winner on the poll with her invented meaning. Congratulations Sonnjea. You've still got it.
