Word of the Day

The word for Friday, October 12, 2007 is wela. It means hot in English. I thought we'd grab an adjective this time that could be used on a regular basis. In fact in doing my research wela is one of the 100 most common words used in the English language. Now by hot you can think like an oven, from the sun, or even as in describing the looks of a car, or the passion associated with an attraction. Doubling it increases the strength of the heat. For example: scorching, burning-up, boiling hot, you get the idea.
