Word of the Week
"Hopper" -- noun, meaning "a container"
as in, "Once I put the insulation in the hopper, I'll start blowing it into the attic."
This well-used word is courtesy of my husband. He uses it a lot. A LOT. Everything goes into the 'hopper', whether it is actually a garbage can, an insulation holder, a paint sprayer, or a child's arm.
He puts everything into a hopper. I had never heard of this until I married him. After 12 years of I finally asked him, Why? Why does he use this word. He thought everyone uses this word. He thinks this of many words and phrases ... some of which I will be featuring here later. I hope. Depends on if he reads this or not.
