Word of the day

June 11, 2006 on 2:00 pm | In word of the day | No Comments

This weeks’s word of the week is confabulate(by way of Ha’aretz). Definition #2 is the more interesting one:

con·fab·u·late (kən-făbyə-lāt) pronunciation
intr.v., -lat·ed, -lat·ing, -lates.

  1. To talk casually; chat.
  2. Psychology. To fill in gaps in one’s memory with fabrications that one believes to be facts.

[Latin cōnfābulārī, cōnfābulāt- : com-, com- + fābulārī, to talk (from fābula, conversation; see fable).]

Which reminds me: I forgot to about Friday abstract art blogging! Or did I?
