I was afraid that I was actually going to have to do some research – but I skillfully avoided it.
The number of words – interesting words – that begin with the letter X are severely limited, and every year that I publish one reduces the options further. I thought that I might do some sort of historical post about the ancient Persian king, Xerxes. Fortunately, while I was hanging out in the X neighborhood, I found a new, not quite useless word.
xertz
The origin of the word ‘xertz’ is not known. However, it is used in the context of gulping your food or drink quickly and, not to forget, quite greedily. The best example to explain and use this word is when a person comes indoors after bearing the summer heat, and gulps a glass of juice or water with haste – or, when you hungrily gobble the last slice of pizza.
I’ll be back, later in the week, with a post that you can sink your teeth into…. after I’ve finished sinking my teeth into the rest of this pizza. 😉
“I was afraid that I was actually going to have to do some research…” Made me laugh for a moment. Thank you.

Uh-oh!! That does it. Now I’m going to have to look xenial up. Just for that, I’ll probably use it here next year, and it’ll be all your fault. 😉 😀

I like my pizza fairly simple; pepperoni, bacon…. and mushroom – or hot Italian sausage – or occasionally, both, and lots of cheese. 😀
