Haiku to you Thursday: “Light”

Light snow and flowers;
sky whistles a gray day tune —
Spring catches its breath.

New word: “Flib”

We are all looking for ways to cut back, and here is a way to cut back on words: flib.

See the definitions below and how the new word is used. Maybe flib can become the next big thing in its own little, trivial way.

Old Words to create new word:
Flippant, adj. lacking in seriousness, maybe characterized by levity; shallow, humorously disrespectful.

Fib, n. minor falsehood; trivial or small lie

New word:
Flib, n. small, trivial lie or falsehood lacking in seriousness, and may contain levity.

Example of new word in action:
Wife: Honey, do I look fat in this dress.

Husband: Dear, that dress was made for you and all your splendor.
