Embonpoint

Just a quicky tonight.  I’m taking a break from the Excel project from hell.  Imagine 170,000+ rows spread over four worksheets.

My company’s intranet has a “Word of the Day” definition on its homepage.  Today’s word and definition was this:

embonpoint

\ahng-bohng-PWANG (the “ng” is never pronounced, but the vowels are nasalized)\noun
: plumpness of person : stoutness
You learn something new every day.  I was embonpoint all these years and didn’t know it.  :)
