Word of the day


Today's word is HABILIMENT.

Habiliment [huh-BIL-uh-munt] noun:

1: characteristic apparatus: trappings

2a: the dress characteristic of an occupation or occasion - usually used in plural

b: clothes - usually used in plural

Example:
"My riches are these poor habiliments, / Of which if you should here disfurnish me, / You take the sum and substance that I have." — From Shakespeare's 1595 play The Two Gentlemen of Verona

Did you know?
"Habiliment," from Middle French "abillement," is a bit old-fashioned and is often used to describe complex, multi-pieced outfits like those of medieval times. For instance, a full suit of armor—which might include a helmet, gorget, pallette, brassard, skirt of tasses, tuille, gauntlet, cuisse, jambeau, and solleret, along with other pieces and plates—can be considered the habiliments of a knight. Nowadays, "habiliment," which is usually used in its plural form, is also fitting for the dress of an occupation, such as the different vestments of a priest, or for clothes, such as elegant formal wear, worn on special occasions. When "habiliment" is used for plain old "clothes," it is more than likely for jocular or poetic effect—as we see it being used by Shakespeare in the first example above.

Ok so I used the sites example but I do enjoy Shakespeare lol. I'm having a great time hanging out with my mom and dad. Day two and fuck they scare the shit outta me when we drive on the highway! I'm pretty sure the next time we go somewhere I'm driving! Holy fuck...waiting at a stop light my mom just kept creeping up little by little until she was RIGHT on the dudes ass in front of us. If that had been me she was behind I woulda been pissed lol. Oh well Off tomorrow with my auntie who is more like an older sister and we're going to the coast then to a pow wow on Saturday...I'm so excited!!! Hope y'all are doing great and having an excellent week
