WORD OF THE DAY
Simpatico • \simm-PAWT-ih-coe\ • Adjective - 1: Agreeable, likable 2: being on the same wavelength: congenial, sympathetic.
David was perplexed. His interview with the new division supervisor had gone horribly wrong from the beginning. Dave’s careless comment about the supervisor’s light up bow-tie was taken as an insult; on par with a beer belch in church. Regardless of his fashion sense, the interviewer threw Dave into a tailspin by admitting to simpatico for a common interest: collecting campaign buttons for failed presidential candidates…generally those of libertarians…and specifically those of the 1972 slate of John Hospers & Theodora Nathan.
