And now, for the feature presentation for the "Random Word for the Day"...By the way, should it be "Word Feature of the Day" or "[insert your suggestion here in the comment section] or just keep it as is and tell you what Steracle means now?
:iconlasingplz::iconlabeatplz::iconlarockplz:


Steracle is a noun pronounced as /stare•ra•cul/.  The word is of obscure origins, however, it could have stemmed from 'stare' which traces to Old English 'starian,' which corresponds to (Middle) Low German/Dutch 'staren,' Old High German 'starên,' Middle High German 'starn,' Old Norse 'stara,' and Norwegian 'stara,' which all means 'to gaze fixedly and with eyes wide open.'  It means A spectacle, show.

  • On Halloween night, there will be a steracle of sparkly zombies gnawing on de-sparkled vampires sucking on lemons.
  • "With ymages and rellyckes he shall wurke sterracles." --- John Bale, King Johan


:bulletgreen: This was such an obsolete word that tracing it's etymology was bloody difficult.  In the end, it's still of obscure origins as you've seen.  I'm terrible at coming up with sentences to use the word, so you'll have to forgive for its current usage.  ^^; This word is also found with different spelling as follows: staracle, sterakel, sterracle, and stiracle.

Random Ramble



Cover your coughs, get lots of rest, and drink lots of fluids.  Oh, and don't forget to load up on ammunition for October.  I hear there might be a battle between zombies and vampires (sparkly vampires).  Place your bets.  Place your bets.  Who will win this steracle?  Zombies or sparkly vampires?

"A hundred grand for the zombies please!" (secretly switches the vampires sparkly dust with hazardous gun powder and flammable dust and attaches flamethrowers to the zombies mouth)

:icontanarotte:
Greetings all,

[Filling in what I would have written during the time of this journal]

I have an obsession.  And I don't know what it is because its really a random and spontaneous obsession.  Right now though, I'm really attacking the tissue box like a mad gorilla.  Poor nose, I wonder how cracked it'll get to be after this episode of sickness.  Not like a desert I hope.  That would be a nightmare.  

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed the word: Steracle and will find use for it in your conversations, writings, blaterations, thoughts, and so on.  Please be on the lookout for my next Random Word for the Day.

Kind regards,
