Word a day

[Officelover]

Today's word (July 26, 2009)

callimammapygian ( Cah-lee-mam-ma-pij-i-en)

What theheck could this long word mean. Well, shall we disect the roots? (I love etymology by the way!)

Calli- Think Calligraphy, Kaleidoscope, Calliope. Calli is a Greek word meaning beautiful. (Calligraphy means beautiful writing, kaliedoscope means beautiful view, calliope means beautiful voice)

Mamma- Think mammal, mammary, mama. Yes, all of them mean "breast" (Mammals produce milk, mammary means "of or relating to the breasts", and mama comes from the simple sucking sound that relates to breastfeeding.)

Pyg- This one is more obscure. It means (quoting wikipedia) "Of or relating to the buttocks".

So, that is beautiful+breasts+buttocks.

The definition (Office-style) of callimammapygian having a nice ass, and nice tits.

What a useful word.
