Two Words

I don't have time to write about this weekend yet because we are getting ready to go to Birmingham to visit Peyton.  Don and I left at 5:30 am yesterday to go to a drag race in Commerce and I didn't get back until 10:30 or 11 (after picking up the kids).  Obviously, I was too tired to blog!  I want to write all about this busy weekend tomorrow.  Here are yesterday's and today's words:

misnomer \mis-NO-muhr\, noun:
1. The misnaming of a person in a legal instrument, as in a complaint or indictment.
2. Any misnaming of a person or thing; also, a wrong or inapplicable name or designation.


plangent \PLAN-juhnt\, adjective:
1. Beating with a loud or deep sound, as, "the plangent wave."
2. Expressing sadness; plaintive.
