@Dictionarycom 'Scintilla' is a splendid synonym for 'iota.'

My friends keep insisting Hawaiian pizza is so delicious, but I haven’t changed my mind about it one iota.🍍Our #WordOfTheDay means a very small amount and comes from the tiny ninth letter of the Greek alphabet. What’s an opinion you refuse to change, even one iota?

In Multicultural London English (MLE), the word 'bare' means "a lot of," "many," and in some contexts, "very" or "extremely." It underwent a semantic shift from its standard version (meaning "sparse" or "naked"). So, the next time you hear a Londoner say, "I'm sorry, mate. I've got bare things to do at home," they aren't turning you down because they've got nothing to do. Rather, they're saying they've got a lot of things to do. Fascinated with modern London culture? My book explores the origins, meanings, and real-life examples of hundreds of MLE terms. Hit the link in bio to unlock the culture.

@Nira_O351 Let's do this, then.

If you reply this post and I'll follow you

@MerriamWebster You'd be discombobulated to know that 'Gift' has also been used as a proper noun.

"It appears that...if I'm seeing this right...'gift' has been used as a verb for over 400 years..."

@joyceamara20 @perkmaybe Wagwan, cuz. What's good?
