February 2009Just Foolin' AroundFebruary is the month to fool around and fall in love. See the fancy words for a sweetheart we found for this Valentine's Day. Want to find your own? Select the Collegiate as the reference, click on Advanced Search, type love in the Definition field, and click on Search. Terms of love begin with Adonis and include Aphrodite, Cupid, Eros, Frigga, and Hero. But love isn't always mythological. On the upbeat side, consider passion, romance, tenderhearted, and torch song. The darker side of love offers estrange, lovelorn, and triangle. If Cupid's arrow passed you by, take comfort in the idea that the analogous search for terms of hate (type hate in the Definition field) yields only 12 terms. Only one of them, odi et amo, turns up on both lists. |
