Word of the day ~ Quirk/Quirky

As I wait in trepidation for the DU cut-offs which are supposedly to be released late tonight or tomorrow early morning, I ponder on for the word of the day. Words, they are in thousands, but words that hold us tight in their clutches; words that mesmerise us just because of their meaning or pronunciation are what I am searching for.

After an unsuccessful attempt to find a suitable word, I decided to rope in the “Dictionary” for some help when a word stuck me. I have been describing many words as being quirky (Read: Peculiar) so, quirk itself is a word.  So why not blab on about it?

Before going on with the formal introduction, I would like to chat a bit; a sort of quirky chat. What would you say to it? I love this phrase which was coined by an online friend when I was contemplating writing about this word– “A quirky way to chat with quirky friends is to quirkily change the quirky topics.”  Too much of “Quirks”, you would say!

I think I will proceed to the formatted table before you throw something at me in frustration?

Word of the Day:      Quirk/Quirky

Meaning:                   Peculiar, Characteristic or trait

Usage:                       Noticeably, it is used as an adjectively or as a verb, its usage as a noun has not gained much popularity.

Where did I discover it?

Well, these sorts of daily words one doesn’t exactly remember, but as far as I can retrospect, I have been using this word in my daily vocabulary for almost 6 years now. So, maybe in a novel, or in the newspaper or any magazines, it may have been anything which might have brought this word to my notice.

Anything else left? Oh yeah, if you feel this is a quirky blog, leave some quirky (Read: Nice) comments below! <3
