Word of the Week: May 29 - June 4, 2011

Akimbo:

1. Having the hand on the hip and the elbow turned outward. 
2. Set in a bent position - a tailor sitting with legs akimbo.

I love this word because it is funny to see, funny to say, and all around hilarious. It is a particular favorite of my dad's and he uses it all the time to describe how I often stand. I think it ought to be used more frequently. Discuss what you think of it and pledge to start using it more!
