Sam's Word of the Week - Monday 25th April, 2005
Walrus (n)
A large marine mammal, scientifically known as Odobenus rosmarus, of Arctic regions. They are related to seals and have two long, often yellow tusks, tough wrinkled skin, and four flippers. The Walrus is an animal of great reference by rock group the Beatles. The song “I am the Walrus” allowed this loveable mammal to gain some recognition worldwide. Walruses enjoy sleeping, sun baking, swimming and eating turnip chips.

Sam's Word of the Week - Monday 18th April, 2005
Cellophane (n)
A thin, flexible, transparent cellulose material made from viscose and used as a moisture proof wrapping for such goods as lollies, flowers and turnip chips. Invented by Jacques E. Brandenberger in 1908, the creation has long since been infamous for use in wrapping bad presents, turning them from trashy into flashy.

Update
Just to let you all know, I will be updating this website regularly each week with new words. Please feel free to comment on the words, and also I issue you all a challenge to use the words as often as you can in everyday life - and you can even write these quotes as comments here. Enjoy!

A taste of things to come...
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Grip yourselves for something great... the craze that is sweeping the nation (and soon to be world), is readily available for view from the comfort of your home computer desk, or associated place of internet-connectedness.
The so called "fad" that I describe is Sam's Word of the Week. What began from humble beginnings has become popular, and has been seen in such publications as Charles Sturt University's "Hungappa" student magazine. The word needs to be spread to a wider audience, and I believe a blog will reach that. Being slightly technologically challenged, I have been assured that these "blog" things are the way of the future, so hopefully I will cope with it.
Sam's Word of the Week is currently on hiatus until term returns on Monday the 18th April 2005. You will then be able to view each new word of the week here every Monday morning (AEST). Here you can also reflect on each week's word, give reviews and share how you will use, (and have used), each week's word in everyday life.
Until the 18th - be sure to save this site saved in your list of "favourites", and get excited about the many random words ahead.
