Vocabulary

There has been this word, quite new sounding (to me) but seems to have been around for quite some time. For about the past month or so I hear the word about once a day. I have been to fucking lazy to look it up. Actually lazy isn't the best description, more like forgetful. Anyways, it's been following me around for quite some time. Taunting me to look up the definition, once I do, the little bastard will back off. Since I assume that people have the same kind of experience with word stalking, here is the new word I learned:

Main Entry: fod·der
Pronunciation: 'fä-d&r
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English fOdor; akin to Old High German fuotar food
1 : something fed to domestic animals; especially : coarse food for cattle, horses, or sheep
2 : inferior or readily available material used to supply a heavy demand


Now I hope I experience some sort of closure, or and end to the stalking escapades, and I pray that I can turn on my t.v. and internet without hearing this damned word.

Damn you fodder, your so delicious, and make us regular. And damn blogger, it won't let me post pictures.
