Wayne’s Word – wishy-washy

It’s a little nod to Wayne’s World, but instead of ‘party time, excellent’ (if you are aware of the cult nineties classic) I will be diving into one WORD each day. It could be something I learned, something bizarre that happened, a favourite word that I have rediscovered or just a thought that won’t leave me alone.

If you’re joining in on today’s word, feel free to use this tag to connect your post to the series: #WaynesWord

Today’s word is WISHY-WASHY.

Wishy-washy is one of those wonderfully old-school words that just sounds like what it means, vague, indecisive, half-hearted. It could be like someone agreeing to plans they clearly do not want to attend

“Yes maybe, we’ll see…” that is peak wishy-washy.

It is also a great way to describe ideas that don’t quite commit. A wishy-washy opinion is like soggy toast, it is technically there, but it is not doing much for anyone.
