WORD OF THE DAY
Jerkwater
• \JERK-wat-err\ • Adjective - 1: remote and unimportant 2: trivial.
“Jerkwater?
That’s really what the New York Times called our town?” mused the mayor to his
hound-dog as they lazed on the front porch, reveling in the afternoon summer
sunshine; the hypnotic droning of bees thrumming from the nearby honeysuckle. “Well,
that is most excellent.”
