I’m pleased to announce the release of my 8th book, Skoll’s Diary.

Africans and African Americans left Earth in 1900, and went to another planet in The Milky Way to escape mistreatment…

It’s now the year 3005 on that terraformed planet. We get a peek into the life of a bright and sensitive teenaged boy, Skoll, through his journal. He loves his world, but is curious about life on Earth. Then suddenly, an epic event casts him in the middle of a difficult decision.  The fate of the planet’s community is in his hands.

Lady Rougepen Says: Of Biblical Proportions

We get many sayings from The Good Book. Here are some of the most common:

• See the writing on the wall. (Daniel 5:5-6; to be warned of something detrimental)
• Forbidden fruit (Genesis 2:16-17; something that’s more appealing because you can’t have it.)
• Land of milk and honey (Exodus 3:8; paradise)
• Apple of my eye (Deuteronomy 32:10; adored one)
• Bite the dust. (Psalms 72:9; death, as in we return to the dust, upon death)
• For everything, there is a season. (Eccelesiates 3:1; you can’t force something to happen if it’s not time.)
• Cross to bear (Matthew 16:24; personal hardship)
• The eleventh hour (Matthew 20:6; the moment before it’s too late, just in time)
• The powers that be (Romans 13:11; authority figures)

Lady Rougepen Says: You Speak German

English , as you know, is a mosaic of other different languages. Let’s look at some words that originate from our brothers and sisters who brought us Volkswagen and streusel pastries. The following words are German:

• Poltergeist
• Wunderkind
• Kindergarten
• Frankfurter
• Zeitgeist
• Bratwurst
• Hamburger

What are some other German words you can think of that crept into English?

Lady Rougepen Says: Dress up “Rude” with this Vocabulary Word

Solipsism means “alone” or “self” in Latin; basically selfish. Example: Holly’s extreme display of solipsism left her with few friends.

Another fun fact: The root of that word (solop) means the B-word or “bastard” in French! Oh, la la! English uses a derivative, too, with “slop.”

Lady Rougepen Presents: Up in Smoke

The Mayan word for smoking a roll of tobacco leaves is “sikkar.” The Spanish played with the word, and it morphed into “cigarro.” English put its stamp on it, and it became “cigar.”

Another smoking hot fact: archeologists found 1,000-year-old Mayan pottery with the image of a man smoking tobacco leaves, bound with string.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Lady Rougepen Says: You Speak Aztec

There are many Aztec words that we use today:

Chili

Coyote

Tomato

Avocado

When the Spaniards conquered Mexico, they did not have Spanish words for some of these things, so the Aztec roots stuck. Guacamole, anyone? Yum.

Lady Rougepen Says: Nice Weather We’re Having

It’s heating up out there; perfect time for some weather etymology.

Helios was the Ancient Greek god of the sun. That’s where we get “helium” from, which is the sun’s gaseous atmosphere. Iris was the goddess of the rainbow. We get “iridescent” from her name. The colorful flowers, irises, are also so named.

You know I adore Greek & Roman mythology. This etymology lesson was also just an excuse to talk about it! Bye for now.

Lady Rougepen Says: Cows Saved Us

This is an appropriate post with what has been happening in the past year. The word “vaccination” comes from the Spanish word “vaca,” which means “cow.” What’s the connection between cows and the eradication of polio, small pox, and whooping cough?

A scientist noticed that milk maids did not get cowpox, like others, and made the connection that getting a low of the disease was the magic bullet in preventing an outbreak. Think about how cool that is until the cows come home!

Lady Rougepen Says: Check Out this Flower Power

Spring has sprung, and dandelions are everywhere! I discovered an interesting tidbit about this cheerful, yellow flower’s etymology. The name “dandelion” refers to the jagged petals that look like lion’s teeth. In French, it’s “dent de lion.” We ran that phrase together, and over time, it became “dandelion.”

Neat, huh?
