hibiscus or poppodom?

One of the great joys of life has to be saying enjoyable words. Nature is the best source of excellent words, mainly because botanists are all drugs addled hippies with a lyrical penchent for wordplay and polysyllable funtime. Coffee varieties can be great - just say “Guatamalan Maragogype” or “Celebes Kalossi Toraja”. My personal favourite word is poppadom - see below for potentially boring poppadom spelling trivia.

My point? Well - in the garden Hibiscus is a cracking word. Hi Bi Scusssss. Delightful! Wear this shirt to have an excuse to say a lovely word more often than usual. Oh - and coolar free are doing a 28% off thing justnow. Hurrah!

Poddadom trivia - The Oxford Dictionary can’t make it’s mind up how to spell it. Listing the word as “listed spellings include papadam, papaddam, papadom, papadum, papodam, papodum, popadam, popadom, poppadam, poppadom, poppadum, poppodam, puppadum, puppodam, puppodum. However, there is nothing to say that you cannot use the unlisted spellings papodom, popadum, poppodom, poppodum, puppadam, puppadom, and puppodom”.
