Can YOU use this word in a sentence?

I’ve never heard this one before! According to Merriam Webster online, the word of the day is “quidnunc” (noun) – pronounced (KWID-nunk).

Definition: a person who seeks to know all the latest news or gossip : busybody

Example Sentence: “Those who criticize Joanne for being a quidnunc are usually the first to go to her when they want to know the latest gossip.”

This one’s kind of simple, so I’m hoping I don’t see sentences like “my sister is such a quidnunc”, “people call me a quidnunc”, etc. etc. etc.

Try to make it creative and interesting to read! Draw on personal experience! Write me a short blurb!

Have fun; thanks for playing! ♥

Holy crap! That is an awesome word. Ooooooh, it’s going to bother me so much! I am going to be waiting for WEEKS to use that one! Although I did get to use the word “pestiferous” today. That was fun. Okay, here we go….

Sleuthing through the bushes, Frank, the town quidnunc, spied on Mrs. Applebottom in search of the latest scuttlebutt.

Hahaha! Scuttlebutt is a pretty fun word, too.

Ok. How’d I do?

This quidninc in my class can’t focus on her work. She always has to find out why a classmate missed class or why someone is crying. She’s even gone as far as to state that another classmate is taking too long in the restroom and that she needs to go make sure they’re not playing. Second grade…these gossip queens start youg nowadays.

As I unlocked the door of my salon, I remembered that Norma Bleathe was my first customer of the day. Sometimes I wondered if the true reason she came in for a weekly appointment was to get her hair styled, or to feed the cravings of a quidnunc!

Are you one of the quidnuncs who turn to the gossip page in the paper first thing?

i am pretty sure this is a Latin word – still in use, same spelling as 2000 years ago.

The neighborhood quidnunc sure stays on top of things. The other day she knew that someone was moving in even before they came!

As I was quidnuncing my way down the street, I saw something strange. So, just for the moment, I quit quidnuncing and looked up, just to see a group of quidnuncs, pointing and laughing at me.
