WORD OF THE DAY
Animus • \ANN-uh-muss\ • Noun - 1: basic attitude or
governing spirit: disposition, intention 2: a usually prejudiced & often
spiteful or malevolent ill will 3: an inner masculine part of the female
personality in the analytic psychology of C. G. Jung
My animus for thick, spongy restaurant pancakes has no
bounds. The pancake, cooked thin and almost crepe-like, should be able to stand
on its own (so to speak), with just the right amount of butter and syrup. It
should not be a vehicle for carrying such flavor enhancements into your
alimentary canal.
