Word of the day: crafternoon

April 1st 2010 05:11
craft fair

They may be aware, where craftspeople gather, of this word, and they may indeed have been using it for generations.

Or it may have been invented by the marketing types plugging a Brisbane, Australia, craft event this weekend – the first time I have seen the word.


I like craft fairs, and I enjoy strolling around them on lazy Sunday afternoons.

Put them together and you have a lovely crafternoon.

Word of the day: chronovore

September 11th 2009 00:32
wasting time

Chronovore: something which eats your time.

I just saw this word on a Twitter tweet by Tiffany. The main chronovore she wrestles with is Twitter itself. But high-end procrastinators have many chronovores in their lives.


I, personally, am founding president of the Southern Milky Way branch of the Universal Procrastinators Alliance. There is nothing about chronovores I don't know. I just didn't know until know until now that that's what they were called.

How did the world survive so long without this word?
