This blog is for everyone who uses words.

The ordinary-sized words are for everyone, but the big ones are especially for children.

Sunday Rest: welfie. Word Not To Use Today.

 A welfie is much the same kind of thing as a selfie or a belfie, and may possibly be all three at once.

Such a triple -elfie, though, would involve taking a photograph of your own bottom while exercising.

Hmm...

...yes, that mght be possible, if not to be recommended on aesthetic, health, taste, or any other grounds.

Still, I suppose such an attempt might end up making some work for a chiropractor.

And even chiropractors have to eat.

Sunday Rest: welfie. A welfie is a photographic self-portrait taken while exercising (which means that welfie posters are smug, as well as boastful). 

The word is made up of the words well and selfie. The word well was wel in Old English, so it's been doing sterling service for over a thousand years.
