word of the day

I learned an interesting word today while we (my dad, mom and I) were on our way back from Toledo.

Furlough n.

- used mostly by soldiers as a preferred term over the usual leave of absence.

I learned this from my dad who is a retired soldier. So when somebody asks you where the hell you’ve been, just tell them, “I took my well deserved furlough.” Pretty cool, huh?
