my word of the day
I bought a device today called a "Smooth Finish Facial Hair Remover." Let's face it women of a certain age, and I'm one of them, need to pluck a few chin hairs from time to time. That old saying "Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin." had to have had its origin somewhere. But I digress. My daughter recommended this device so I bought it. As with so many things on the market these days the directions enclosed are printed in four different languages: English, French, Spanish and German in this case. What caught my attention was the title as it was printed in German. I come from a long line of German ancestors so believe me this is not a criticism, more a case of awe and envy. The title in German is "Smooth Finish Gesichtshaarentferner." Isn't that a great word? I'd love to know the literal translation.
