Another installment of a few fun words found around the blogosphere. Definitions provided by Dictionary.com.
Steampunk– 1. a subgenre of science fiction and fantasy featuring advanced machines and other technology based on steam power of the 19th century and taking place in a recognizable historical period or fantasy world. 2. a subculture inspired by this literary and film subgenre: the fashions and gadgets of steampunk.
Smattering– A small amount of something.
“And despite how touristy the monument is, there were surprisingly few Westerners present in proportion to the mass amounts of Indians in a smattering of bright, eye-popping hues who had made the pilgrimage to Agra.” ~ Camels & Chocolate
Petulant- (of a person or their manner) Childishly sulky or bad-tempered.
“As in: Bill Compton’s description of his newly-made vampire, Jessica: ‘She’s petulant, dangerous, and scared.'” ~ Au Courant Columbia

I love all of these words, especially steampunk. Saw some steampunkers (I assume that’s what you call them?) at the Renaissance Festival this weekend. 🙂
Thanks for including my reference 🙂 Enjoying your blog!
I just love the word petulant. Couldn’t resist “borrowing” it from you. Enjoying yours as well!
I’ve never heard “steampunk” before (new word alert!), but “petulant” is also one of my favorites. As are “eponymous,” “precocious” and “ostentatious.”
