  2. Ha, ha...when I first looked at the word, I thought it said 'calculator' and I thought 'what is she doing...everyone knows what a CALCULATOR is' LOL. Great word this week Rachel!

  3. I am a cunctator sometimes, but it's because my to do list has too many lines! :P

  5. Dear Rachel,
    When it comes to love, I am definitely not a cunctator, although there are some days that I can be...much to my wife's dismay! (lol) Another word I've never heard of. It wasn't even in my dictionary. Thanks for sharing.

    1. Hehe. Yes, many of the words for Wacky Word Wednesday are not in regular dictionaries or recognized by spell check. Sometimes that is how I determine if they are unusual enough to be used for WACKY Word Wednesday. :)

    1. I'm so glad it made you laugh! Yes, a couch potato is generally a cunctator, unless they are ill, in which case they are a justified procrastinator. :)

    1. Well, if someone ever calls you one, just tell them, "No... I'm a cunctator!" :P

  12. Do you need that word verification? Truly I tried 8 times before I was able to post the last comment. Would it be possibe to remove it? I don't have it and don't have trouble.

    1. I'm sorry you had such trouble with it Mary. Unfortunately, I added the captcha for a reason. I get a good number of spam comments without it and I don't want people putting links to their scammy websites in my comments section. I tried taking it off again a few months ago, but immediately got spammy comments again, so I put it right back on.

    2. I find Google very good at filtering out the spam these days.

    3. I wish Google was able to do it for me. As I said, I've tried taking it off before, but I end up with links to sites that sell vaporizers, electric cigarettes, and worse littering my comments section.

  13. This is clever and amusing, not to mention instructive!
