Word of the Day
Truckle (intransitive verb) – to yield weakly; to be submissive; also a noun meaning a caster or a small wheel, but I like the verb for today's word because it reminds me of an ex-husband's character trait… he he he (etymology: from Latin "trochlea" meaning a system of pulleys)
Word in a Sentence: In the fantasy novel Choices Meant for Gods, the pitiful orphan Sorne Jeel truckles to any and all members of the Taiman household as if he is a servant and not an adopted son.
Your turn! What creative thing can you do with today's word? Share it in the comment field and you're automatically entered in the contest to win a couple eBooks!
"Some days, I just want the dragon to win."

I shall not be a truckle any longer to those who look down upon me. From now on, I will stand up for myself.
