Wacky Word Wednesday - Finnimbrun


Finnimbrun
by Rachel Hoyt
 
 
 
A hand wrapped finnimbrun
is a present some would shun
because it could 'fit' anyone
and was likely bought 'under the gun',
hoping the sentiment would weigh a ton
and shroud a trinket with glamour and fun,
make you the envy of everyone,
for wisely gifting knick-knacks, finnimbrun.

Every week I rhyme and define a new wacky word.
Come on over to indulge your inner nerd.
And, please let me know of any weird words you've heard.

    1. I too am a fan of little things many others wouldn't want to keep. I even save receipts, labels, ticket stubs, etc. in my journal. I wrote this thinking of those knicknacks you don't want to toss (because you like the person who gave it to you) but for which you've never been able to find a spot on the shelf. I love them but I have a really small apartment. :)

  2. Wow Rachel, I do the same thing. Lots of old movie stubs, hand written letters, get well cards, goodbye cards, etc. etc.

    Also love collecting knick-knacks from various places though I've lately fallen into just collecting coffee mugs.

    I'm weird.

  3. I'm brimming with laughter over this word! Kinda sounds like you just came back from getting novacained by the dentist--what do you need? "finnimbrum," I'm sorry, I didnt' get that..."finnimbrum!" I too am a collector of little things, a zipper tab that I liked, seashells, little rocks...it's fun to have finnimbrum :-)

Rhyming or not, I would like a lot to hear the thoughts my words brought...
