This is a new idea I had for a post. How often have some number of us been conversing and mentioned a word that made us wonder why that isn't used more often? This is our answer to that quandary. If you desire to bring back into common usage any particular turn of phrase, this is where you post. Or if you heard a word somewhere and thought what a wonderfully depictive, vivid, and/or eloquent vocabularial (i made that word up) tidbit, then you can post that too if you think it worthy of being shared. For this first edition I call upon my own experience of the past couple days. For I find myself using a particular word which I have come to truly admire. And so without further ado, here is our first Word of the Week!
Beleaguered: Plagued; beset by trouble or difficulty
-or- surrounded so as to prevent escape; overwhelmed; crushed

I really love this idea! And fab picture too
oh man - great idea! there are always turns of phrase that I want to bring back into fashion. this is the place to do it!
and agreed - great picture. I think that will be half the fun of posting a new word or phrase - figuring out what picture to use with it!
