I LEARNED A NEW WORD TODAY THAT'S A WHOLE LOTTA FUN TO SAY!

I had never heard of this word until it arrived in my email a few weeks ago from Dictionary.com's Word Of The Day! I LOVE this word!

I'd like to see who can compose an interesting sentence using "my" new word! Just leave it in my comment section if you feel so obliged!

nonagenarian \non-uh-juh-NAIR-ee-uhn; no-nuh-\, noun:

A ninety year old person; someone whose age is in the nineties.

My Father was a "nonagenarian" when he passed away in 1997, which was surprising since he drank a lot. As a matter of fact,he drank Canada Dry.

My Mother is a "nonagenarian" and pretty spry. She doesn't even use glasses, she drinks straight from the bottle, so maybe there is some hope for me yet.

The nonagenarian was a grumpy old hermit. That lives in the back mountains of Tennessee. One day he needed some supplies and made his way down to the town below. On his way he meet a sweet little girl who was lost. Not ever being a caring man he almost past by. But her big blue eyes made him stop and look at her. She was holding her doll close to her face and her eyes were wet from crying. Even the grumpy nonagenarian could not help but feel sad for her. He helped her off of the mountains, and even took the time to take her to the sheriff so they can find her parents. The morale of the story is; even the meanest nonagenarian can get their heart touched.

I know you just asked for a sentence but I could not help but make up a story,lol I hope you don't mind.

My Aunt Bernice, affectionately known as Aunt Bunny and even sometimes as Aunt Bunny Rabbit, will probably be a very classy nonagenarian, and we'll throw her a big party in July when she turns 90!

Thanks, Pam, for visiting Mountain Musings! I dropped by here and ENJOYED my first visit VERY MUCH! Thank you!

I should live so long as to be a nonagenarian.

My grandmother is a nonagenarian.

My dad would have said, "I never want to be a nonagenarian", and he wasn't. He died at 87.

Is McCain a nonagenarian? lol

Hehehe, love the word. If the second syllable were pronounced with long "a" it would be so ironic because it would sound like the meaning would be someone who never ages. LOL Enjoyed the sentences by the way.
