Word Nuts!
05/29/09

Because we are nuts about words!

Word Nuts is sizzling!  Thanks to all the subscribers who wrote me saying how they are enjoying to learn new words AND learn how to use them! I'm happy to see your progress!

The word today is a noun and a verb.

 SIZZLE /ˈsɪzəl/ = to make a hissing sound like the sound of cold water  being splashed in hot pan; or the sound of delicious steak when is being broiled, or bacon when is being fried.

You can hear the steak sizzling in the pan.

I heard the sizzle of frying bacon.

 

Hmmm... I'm getting hungry with all this talk about food sizzling in the pan!   Hungry for sizzling steak!!

 

You can also use it figuratively, to express something exciting or romantic:

The news that you won the lottery has been sizzling all month!

Our romance is still sizzling!

 

That's it!  I hope you have a sizzling weekend! 

 

 

Be a Word Nuts and have fun with words!

 

And Ask Questions when you want to know something!
