Cunctator

is a procrastinator,
and also a hesitator.
Happier saving all for later
is the cunctator.

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.
That word requires careful enunciation. ☺
ReplyDeleteTeehee. I know. :P
DeleteHa, 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!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! :) What a fun word trick. I didn't forsee that. Also... how cute. We were reading each other's blogs at the same time. <3
DeleteI am a cunctator sometimes, but it's because my to do list has too many lines! :P
ReplyDeleteI can't afford to be one! :) Although, there are days . . .
ReplyDeleteGreat word and poem, Rachel!
Thank you Martha! :)
DeleteDear Rachel,
ReplyDeleteWhen 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.
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. :)
DeleteRachel, this really made me laugh! so it's a fancy word for "couch potato?" cunc-tator :-)
ReplyDeleteI'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. :)
DeleteWhat a great word (as always), I'm definitely a bit of a cunctator when working, and often look at this site while cunctating :)
ReplyDeleteI am happy to facilitate your cunctating. :)
DeleteWow, definitely obscure. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it Jack! :)
DeleteLolz Cunctator.. Now i know a word that even Oxford doesnt :) And your poem had a musical feel to it like the Spiderman cartoon song. Btw i am not a Cunctator as i came here to read this without waiting a sec n dint hesitate to comment :)
ReplyDeleteWay to NOT cunctate! :) I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. Thank you for the sweet comment. :)
DeleteAh this might be me!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, if someone ever calls you one, just tell them, "No... I'm a cunctator!" :P
DeleteThis made me smile! Very clever.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary! :)
DeleteDo 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.
ReplyDeleteI'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.
DeleteI find Google very good at filtering out the spam these days.
DeleteI 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.
DeleteThis is clever and amusing, not to mention instructive!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rosemary! I'm glad you enjoyed it on all levels. :) :) :)
