On second thought, let’s not go to Camelot; it is a silly place

It’s a first!

Tonight something new happened. Tonight, I had to define a word for Mike. And, it was a non-wine related word!

The word was jamcracker. I learned the meaning of this word about 6 years ago back when I was in the venture capital world. And not because of my extensive logging knowledge.

A jamcracker is the person who has to go out on the river and break up the log jams.

    Whereas I thought that a jamcracker sounded delicious, maybe with a little brie tucked in between, a glass of bubbles to wash it down…

    That’s what I was thinking. =)

    In what context did this come up, though?

    I remember my “first time” with [info]evil_fizz … the word was doppleganger. I’m not sure there was a second time (excluding scientific/technical terms). She, however, has probably taught me at least several hundreds of words by now.
