cornucopia

You can't tell me your ears don't perk up a little bit when you hear this word. Just hearing it in a sentence, much like i did on some rag tag morning show on at 6:45 a.m. this morning, makes me feel better about what lies ahead in my day.


Saying, "I have a cornucopia of stuff going on today at the office," sounds a whole heckuva lot better than saying, "I have a busy day"...try it for yourself, a cornucopia of times (ok, well maybe that was a stretch...).


The cornucopia is a symbol of food and abundance dating back to the 5th Century BC, also referred to as Horn of Plenty. Or it can simply be, "an abundance" of anything.

You should never say "cornucopia" without first saying "veritable"
