Thanks for the vocabulary lesson! I remember one year I had a teacher who would give us a daily word and then encourage us to use it throughout the day. My nerdy friends and I would compete to see who could use the word more. Such fun!

As for my name, we called our first homestead Crowbar Farm. I used to MamaBear for my name, but it became too popular, so CrowbarMama was born.

Funny story, I just went to a Steemit meetup in N. I'd and I guess the joke was they expected CrowbarMama to be tatted up, rollin' up on a Harley. Instead, I show up in my suburban with 4 kiddos.

TBH, I hadn't thought about the connotation of the word crowbar, just that it was a really useful tool in all the rebuilding we had to do on the farm. But I'm still happy with it.
