Words of the Week

Hey Capitol Hill, how’s it going? So, what’s your Word of the Week? Hmmm? Don’t have one? Oh, that’s a pity. We’ve got two. Yeah, we know, it seems like a lot, but you get used to it.

The “Original” Word of the Week is at 44th Ave NE and Thackery and this week it’s shako, which means “a cylindrical or conical military hat with a brim and a plume or pom-pom”. Yeah, that’s one over on the right.

The “Upper Wallingford Word of the Week” is on 47th Ave NE between Latona and Thackery. This week, it’s fubsy, which is British slang for “fat and squat”.

Anyway, shame about you not having a Word of the Week. We hope you don’t develop an inferiority complex just because our vocabulary is becoming richer and more complex than yours.
