Mimi Meme.....

A little while ago Mimi Queen of Memes challenged her readers to do this meme, on pain of being locked up in the dungeon if you don't. So as I don't fancy spending any time in a cold dark dungeon I thought I'd better give it a whirl even if I am a bit late with it.

And just when you thought they'd all be given out - I got another award!

The Rotten Lovely Correspondent gave me this beauty.

Now I looked this up on 'World Wide Words' and here's what they say Bodacious means.

Blatant, remarkable, audacious, impressive, or attractive.
As you can tell from the wide-spectrum definition, this American word is one of those wide-ranging superlatives to which speakers turn when they want to say that some quality is present in large degree; that quality might be unreasonableness, impressiveness, insolence, or (most recently) female attraction, specifically big breasts. This last meaning seems to have become widely known in the middle 1980s after it was employed in the film An Officer and a Gentleman in 1982. Another film, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure of 1989, contributed to its growing nationwide popularity.
As a result, many people would guess the word is modern, but the earliest record (actually of the adverb bodaciously, which appeared as body-aciously) is from as long ago as 1832. The adjective is known from the 1840s, often as bowdacious in the early years. This leads lexicographers to think that both it and the adverb are from a English West Country dialect form, written as boldacious or bowldacious, which was probably an amalgam of bold and audacious.
Among older users and before its recent surge to popularity, the word seems to have been most common in the American South, though not among African-Americans. One of the earliest examples is from Georgia, dated 1845: “She’s so bowdacious unreasonable when she’s riled”.

I have to say “She’s so bowdacious unreasonable when she’s riled” that is spot on! Also MWM would agree with this 'female attraction' (he'd better!), and as I've put a lot of weight on since I've been immobile the following is true 'specifically big breasts', but as MWM keeps reminding me when I lose weight they will be the first to disappear! So I guess it's a pretty accurate description.

Now with the following description in mind I'll pass it on to the following, it doesn't mean you have all these qualities, just maybe one or two, and I'm not saying which applies to who, you have to guess at that (wink)

Blatant, remarkable, audacious, impressive, or attractive.
