M-W Word of the Day: Nimrod

Monday, Oct 02, 2000

And just when I thought I knew what a word meant:

The Word of the Day for October 3 is:

Nimrod \NIM-rahd\ (noun)
1 : a descendant of Ham represented in Genesis as a mighty
hunter and a king of Shinar
*2 : not capitalized : hunter

Example sentence:
Dad fancied himself a mighty nimrod after he captured
the rabbit who had been eating our garden.

Heck, I guess that's why I subscribed to the list!
