Grateful to the avuncular Walgreens checkout guy who held up my bag of candy and intoned “autumn mix” appreciatively, like a sommelier
did you know the word "avuncular" (and the word uncle) is from Latin "avunculus" meaning "grandpa (diminutive)"? i think that's fun. uncle? yeah thats a small grampa
did you know for the word for the aunt version of "avuncular" is "materteral"? now you do!
