Why does the word "smite" mean not so nice, as in to attack or affect severely or strike with a weapon. Ouch.
But the word "smitten" is sweet and nice and means attraction to someone.
Nice.
You get a glimpse into the strange things I wonder about. At least strange to me.
Smite is a good word - there is not enough smiting these days. People knew were they stood when they feared that God might smite them! :-)
ReplyDeleteYou've just got a very agile mind, CiCi. I kind of like it. :-)
ReplyDeleteEnglish is a weird language.
ReplyDeleteBecause, often when we're smitten, it comes back to punch us in the face?? Maybe?
ReplyDeletesmiles...it is interesting how much a few letters can make in the meaning....
ReplyDeleteSo what you're really saying is that my blog name would be more appropriate if I shot with a weapon rather than a camera!. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderfully interesting mind, dear CiCi.
