Happy Birthday Froggie Barnacle!
Barnacle (noun) – A marine crustacean that forms a hard shell as an adult and latches onto a submerged surface, such as the hull of a boat or a sea turtle’s back (from Middle English bernak)
Word in a Sentence: In Sandy Lender’s novel Choices Meant for Gods, we aren’t told if there are any barnacles attached to Henry Bakerson’s ships as he and Nigel set sail for Bellan because it’s a totally irrelevant point.
Your turn! I gave you a weak sentence because today’s word is just contrived to please the Duranies among us. But I bet the rest of you can come up with a good crustacean word for us. Share!
“Some days, I just want the drummer to win.”
