Word of the Day: February 20


Satiate: to satisfy fully or to excess

This is a word that is commonly used when describing an extravagant meal, but it can also be used to describe fulfilling other wants or needs. Now don’t get me wrong, I enjoy an oversized piece of chocolate ganache cake just as much as the next woman, but there’s something to be said for having those other desires satisfied fully. If any of you read the modern romance novels gracing the shelves of Barnes & Noble, you know exactly what I mean.

For example:

After spending the better part of daylight intertwined beneath the covers, Juliette was certain that her new husband could satiate her passionate desires, and very well at that.

What a fitting word for our first Hump Day. :)
