Word of the Day

Pusillanimous \pyoo-suh-LAN-uh-muhs \ Adjective – Lacking in courage and resolution; contemptibly fearful; cowardly.

Unbeknownst to many Frank L. Baum scholars, the idea of the “Cowardly Lion” was not the author’s first choice for his book, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”. For many weeks, much to the displeasure of his editor, Baum insisted that the third companion for Dorothy be called the “Pusillanimous Penguin”. The editor won out, and the rest is history.
