    Why yes it was! And I thought it an interesting word AND a word I was actually unfamiliar with, so I thought this thread would be a good way to introduce people to new words that they may not otherwise know about....

    It was either WORD of the day or TURD of the day, in which case I would've been posting various photographs of fecal matter on a daily basis....

    It's too early! More coffee, more coffee...
    It's not how hard you hit, but how hard you can be hit and still move forward.

    Tardis

    Today's word is.......


    CENOTAPH   [sen-uh-taf, -tahf]
    noun
    a sepulchral monument erected in memory of a deceased person whose body is buried elsewhere.

    I've always thought this was an interesting word ever since I first heard one of my fave bands, The Cowboy Junkies, use it in a song of theirs called "The Last Spike"

    For your listening pleasure, here's a link to a YouTube video featuring the song....
