Wayne’s Word – famished

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.

Today’s word is FAMISHED

Definition: Extremely hungry; ravenous (another word I love).

Famished comes from the Middle English famen, meaning to starve, which itself derives from Old French – affamer, a combination of a- (toward) and faim (hunger). The word has been around since at least the 15th century, originally meaning “to starve to death.” Over time, it has mellowed somewhat and is now more about being really, really hungry! I use it as an exaggeration of being hungry but I’m definitely more than just a little peckish. Normally I have an apple at this time to tie me over but I have ran out of apples.

Me looking forward to my dinner this evening 😜

500th blog post and beyond đŸ’Ź

Hey there! It’s Sunday night here in Sydney and I’m trying not to think about work tomorrow haha. I received a notification this week to say I had posted 500 times on my blog, quite the milestone, for me at least.

I just want to say a big THANK YOU for all your support and quietly encouraging me to keep blogging. Admittedly, I am not the best blogger in the world and I have many time constraints but I do love blogging when I can and absolutely love engaging with the blogging community. I hope I am able to make a small impact and even make you smile while reading one of my posts.

Riding on the high of my 500 posts, I thought this would be a good time to announce my new blogging series entitled “Wayne’s Word”. I have been thinking about this for a while now and feel that this is the perfect time to start my own blogging series.

Wayne’s Word

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.

I’ll do my best to share a word each day—but life has its own rhythm, and some days might be quieter than others. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence. And whenever the words come, I will be here to share them.

I also have my own logo that you are welcome to add to your post but no pressure 😝

Stay tuned for my first word coming tomorrow and again, many, many thanks!
