  • UPMC Expert: When to Worry About Forgetfulness0

    UPMC Susquehanna

  • Don’t Refudiate This Rubbage: Finishing Blends in Webb’s Weird Words0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Stiction. Rubbage. Tofurkey. Cockapoo. As we’ve seen here recently in our “World of Weird Words,” these oddball terms are known as blends. According to Wikipedia, this common linguistic phenomenon involves joining the sound and/or meaning from pieces of two or more existing words. For example: Dumbfound mixes dumb and confound.

  • Subscription Boxes for Men0

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    With Father’s Day right around the corner, I was thinking about how best to change up standard gift-giving for dads. The cliched presents of ties and golf balls can almost be given ironically because it’s hard to show the father figures in your life just how much they mean with a single gift. This year,

  • Two Sisters Toy Drive Making Christmas Brighter for Area Kids0

  • Preparing Your Children for Kindergarten0

    • August 23, 2023

    Being ready for kindergarten is about far more than writing names and reciting the ABCs. It is also about building a foundation for deeper conceptual thinking, curiosity, creativity and social and emotional skills that can help children during their early school days and also in life. For parents, this transition can be nerve-wracking and raise

    As promised in last week’s Weird Words round-up, here comes another baker’s dozen from the sprawling list of oddball vocab I keep for these columns.

  • Bloody Good Script: Brad Pitt in “Bullet Train”0

    I would have enjoyed “Bullet Train” a whole lot more if it weren’t so outrageously violent. It’s like someone took a decent script and handed it to Tarantino—except that director David Leitch seems to want to out-Quentin Quentin. Which is too bad, because the plotting is unusually strong for what seemed like a standard actioner
