X is for

 

Hi Y’all!

 

P1200067

I thought this A to Z Challenge would be a good opportunity for vocabulary improvement…so…I found a word that didn’t apply…xanthic…it means yellow or yellowish…definitely not me!  Now if I was a yellow Lab!  But, I’m not. 

P1200089

A better word for a yellow Lab is xanthocomic, which means yellow-haired. BOL! 

P1200091

Then I found the word xanthodont…it means one with yellow teeth…That would give me the opportunity to discuss the importance of proper dental care for pawed ones.  It would also give me the opportunity to use the word X-ray…which is a MUST to find any tooth problems. P1200083

Finally I found the word that applies to me…xenodochial!  Yes, that’s me!  I’m hospitable and kindly to strangers! 

P1200035

Y’all come back now!

    I know a word that's yellow... Jaundice... But when they use it, it's because someone sick is exhibiting bad symptoms. Thanks for sharing xantha
