Word of the Day

Astrophile

Definition:
One fond of star lore; an amateur astronomer

About the Word:
Astr, Latin for "star," turns up in the word disaster, which originally referred to "an unfavorable aspect of a star or planet."

Now you have the word of the day, you have to put it into the "sentence of the day".

See how many times you can use the word "in corrrect context", so you cant swear and replace swear word with Astrophile, and without referring to yourself.
