Osculate means to kiss, which we can't do very much at the moment what with social distancing and everything, but we can all oscitate.
Mind you, I hope that none of us will want to.
Thing Not To Do Today: oscitate. To oscitate is to yawn. This may be from weariness or boredom (which is why I'm keeping this post short).
I can only suggest taking an interest in everything you can.

The word oscitate comes from the Latin oscitare. Os means mouth, and citare is an extra-strong version of the word ciere, to move.
