Word of the Day - Monday, March 9, 2009

pied-a-terre

What in the world does this mean??
noun: A place of lodging for temporary or secondary use.

What on Earth is its origin??
From French pied-à-terre (foot on the ground).

Oh, I ask you, please use it in a sentence!
"These days JOrlando12 divides his time between his ample farmhouse in Roxbury, Connecticut and the pied-a-terre in New York."

If only this sentence were actually true. Who wouldn't enjoy a farmhouse in Connecticut? You have to love the French, I know I do. Happy Monday.
