#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #December15 #BirthdayCohort with @LaurenBoebert & @DonJohnson & ALL the #FamousBirthdays @Bing lists) on #NationalCupcakeDay | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass
Holidays Calendar explains the general #Cupcake we celebrate today (though specific cupcakes (at least one, so far) get their individual celebrations) in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
The Cupcake is the Cake that's served in an individual #Cup.
The word “Cup (\ #Cups #Cupboard #Cupful #Cupped #Cupping #NotMyCupOfTea #InYourCup (where you are when you're drunk) sense of 'Suffering one must |Endure' is from Matthew xx.22, xxvi.39 #CupBearer #Buttercup #Cupola #Cupule #EggCup #TeaCup)” is built on ancient words that mean |Tub, |Cask, |Tun, Barrel (cognate with words that mean Hollow, |Pit, Cave, Gap, |Hole, a type of Ship, |Heap, a ship's |Hull, Beehive).
I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday' ...
