My 1990s middle school students would use this understated expression that holds both awe and ultimate cool: “Word.”
Definitely applies to this excellent piece. Thank you Erin, from a fellow (or is there another word for this that refers to a different gender?) word junkie.
LOVE this! (And that you got your dictionary from your brother 💜.) We inherited a gigantic 1950’s Webster’s dictionary from my husband’s parents…it’s a workout every time we pick it up! Not in the best of shape and the binding is wonky but I can’t bear to throw it out. Always find it fascinating the differences between the definitions then and now!!

Thanks, Bunny. "Word" indeed!

What a treasure. I wonder if it's a previous edition of the one I have.
