Word of the Day
Here's the deal... nobody posts two times in a row... one post per person per day... The words must be interesting, somewhat uncommon, and preferably English.

I'll begin.

Quote:
incredulous
adj.
  1. Skeptical; disbelieving: incredulous of stories about flying saucers.
  2. Expressive of disbelief: an incredulous stare.


Anyone can and should participate

Serendipity
A word I would not have made up. Variant form, it was serendipitous that I found this forum. See also "heuristic" which probably wouldn't count as a second word, because the rules state that I can't post more than one word per day, and the suggested rule is the word should be in English. (not French)
And of course, far be it from me to break rules.
