Word of the Day

Word of the Day Website Home

The Word of the Day for Friday May 17, 2013 is GARBOLOGY (gar bol a jee)--the study of what a society throws away to try and determine what it says about social and cultural patterns. GARBOLOGIST means one who obviously has nothing better to do and pursues such studies.

You don’t have to be a garbologist to be shocked that America’s fast food restaurants discard enough food every day to feed thousands and thousands of people worldwide who lack access to daily nourishment.
