Just your average everyday word. Doesn’t it just roll off the tongue \ud83d\ude42 I found it on a fascinating site www.onelook.com<\/a>. Every hour this site generates 5 words that get an unusually high number of searches.  The site also lists reasons why these words might be popular, at that particular moment.<\/p>\n

Yggdrasil – pronounced (igdrazil) – was the most popular word yesterday. It comes from Norse Mythology and means – great tree of the universe – a huge ash tree whose roots and branches hold the earth, heaven and hell together. The word apparently was searched a lot because in the news a dance company was using it as a theme, a Viking folk group had just released and album by that name and a Malta based gaming group had used it in some capacity.<\/p>\n

You just never know what the world collectively is thinking at any given moment, but “onelook” might be able to give you a hint. Right now, as I am writing this blog – 7-8:00am EST, the most popular word is “gravid,” which means “in an advanced stage of pregnancy.” It is also used to mean loaded, burdened, heavy.<\/p>\n

I guess I’ll just have to wait until tomorrow to find out if this remained the most popular word of the day or if another surpassed it and why.<\/p>\n

\nThe picture is my “Yggdrasil.” It’s not an Ash tree, it’s a Maple tree and it may not hold the universe together, but trees keep my body and soul together, plus the birds love them, even without leaves.<\/p>\n

Have an awesome day!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
