#87: ibidem

9/4/2015

Comments

 
ibidem points out:
"you should have seen this before,
please pay attention"
Picture
This points to a clever little invention, however faddish, that wraps up your yet-to-be-read pages and points, literally, to where you left off. (It might also be pointing to something ibidem... ?) 

When I published Invent! Magazine, we saw a lot of fad items come and go. Two of my favorites were the Wacky Wallwalker™, which survived several knock-offs because of its strongly trademarked name; the second was the guy with a boardwalk pizza shop that drew in business throwing pizza rounds, invented "fake" pizza dough to save waste, ended up winning contests with it, and got an offer from Domino's to package the units for Toys 'R' Us!  It's a wacky world. 


DEFINITION of this 3-syllable adverb:
  1. Latin. in the same book, chapter, page, etc.

    The Word of the Day comes from Dictionary.com. Use the word in your own haiku and add to the comments.

    Improve your vocabulary and your haiku skills at the same time! If you don't know the definition, it's below, but see if you can figure it out from the haiku and/or image. 

    Poet and designer, David Alan Foster has been experimenting with haiku since the '70s. He has inspired (or possibly offended) many with said experiments.
