Today’s Word of the Day is…. aureole.
Uhhh… huh.. huh… he said areola.
No, I didn’t, so quit thinking about it. I said AUREOLE.
Oh, like the bird?
No, not like the bird. Sheezz… pay attention.
aureole n. (Au”re*ole)
1) The circle of rays, or halo of light, with which painters surround the figure and represent the glory of Christ, saints, and others held in special reverence.Note: Limited to the head, it is strictly termed a nimbus; when it envelops the whole body, an aureola.
2) In Astronomy it is a corona, or A faintly colored luminous ring appearing to surround a celestial body visible through a haze or thin cloud, especially such a ring around the moon or sun, caused by diffraction of light from suspended matter in the intervening medium.
3) A halo, actual or figurative.
From: [Middle English, from Late Latin (corOna) aureola, golden (crown), feminine of Latin aureolus, golden, from aureus, from aurum, gold.]
Usage: When my wife suggested we have four women join us in the bedroom, I swore I saw her surrounded by a warm aureole. It turns out I was actually thinking about areolas and fell right in to her deceit-filled trap.
