This month I'm participating in the A-Z Challenge.
(For more information, click here.) My theme is Anger
MISmanagement.
Today's letter is X.
X stands for XANTHIPPE.
A xanthippe is an "ill-tempered woman."
(The original Xanthippe was Socrates' wife.)
Hey, even the spell-checker didn't know that one!

What, do you have a better one?
Thanks for your time.
haha seems there are a lot of those around, never even knew the word for them though...runs away
ReplyDeleteI'll bet you've been using another word...
ReplyDeleteNow I know . . . if I ever run into someone who attempts to label me as such, I will punch them right in the nose. I am NOT ill-tempered!
ReplyDeleteX seems to be a tough one for all themes. Still you pulled it off and I learned a new word.
ReplyDeleteYou did pretty well with X-Ray Tetra, yourself. :)
DeleteGreat word, and one I'd never heard of. Yes, I probably knew another name for the same. :-)

I think we all do...
DeleteXanthippe . . . I'm pretty sure I'm butchering the pronunciation but I like it! New word for me, its almost like I made it up. Would a xanthippe engage in X-pionage? I think so.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure of it.
DeleteI never heard this word before (but Im sure you know that) and are two women fighting??
ReplyDeleteThey certainly are.
