Word of the day
Should this be a thing? A trend? Should I create a new goal for myself: learn a new word every day (maybe not)/ month (possible)/ other?
Anyway, the other day I was reading a biography and stumbled over this verb:
To Lionize
Well. Who knew?!
It means “To treat as an object of great interest or importance”, “to assign great social importance to”, “to treat someone as a celebrity” and was apparently used for the first time in 1809, by Scott and preserving lion in the sense of “person of note who is much sought-after” (1715). Seems as it was originally in reference to the lions formerly kept in the Tower of London, objects of general curiosity and seen by all (as seen in this site).

Definitely imagine that that you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to be at the net the simplest thing to take
note of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed even as people consider concerns that they plainly don’t understand about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the highest and also outlined out
the whole thing without having side effect , other
people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more.
Thanks
