\nI LOVE FAT … words!<\/strong><\/em><\/big>
\nI am particularly enamored with ‘fat’ and ‘food’ words. I find them totally satisfying and amusing. And sitting down with pen and paper in hand, and crafting a good sentence or two is, indeed, a way to exercise one’s brain as well as … (drum roll, please)<\/em> … commit a Creative Act of Weight Loss<\/strong>!
\nCreative Act of Weight Loss:<\/strong><\/big>
\nA time consuming, brain expanding, waist reducing, non-food activity that sends subtle, yet powerful, permanent fat removal messages to your subconscious mind, thus, changing your point of view … foreva’!
\nHere is today’s word! Get your utensils out (pen and paper) and have yourself a yummy good time!
\nembonpoint \\ahn-bohn-PWAN\\, noun:
\nPlumpness of person; stoutness<\/strong>
\nEmbonpoint is from French, literally “in good condition” (en, “in” + bon, “Good” + point, situation, condition).
\nWith his embonpoin<\/em>t, Mr Soames appears to be wearing a quadruple-breasted suit.
\n— Simon Hoggart, “Roll up, roll up, to explore the Soames Zone”, The Guardian, February 1, 2000
\nHis embonpoint<\/em> expands by the day and his eyes are buried in the fat of his cheeks.
\n— quoted in Goethe: The Poet and the Age: Revolution and Renunciation by Nicholas Boyle
\nTry embonpoint on for size!!!<\/strong> See if anyone knows what you ‘re talkin’ about.
\nHere’s my sentence: His embonpoint<\/em> expanded before our very eyes, as we shopped in the new food market in Grand Central Station.
\nSpread the word (NOT the icing)!
\nJanice<\/em>
\nDelicious Creative Acts of Weight Loss are plentiful in the Kick in the Tush Club community.<\/a>
