AAaaaw wee bee

You are so caring about your twin

I have just heard the most ghastly new word

To coronate

An American was using the verb I mentioned

Please tell me it’s not just me thinking that that is not a word

Gawds, Twellsy…I think that it is a word. Please don’t suffer a set-back!

It is a word but not, in my book, a verb.
Possessing or wearing a crown.

I had a funny moment earlier when some American woman asserted “We heard it from the gecko”.
After a bit of puzzling it dawned on me that talking lizards are not in fact A Thing and they had been aware of [I forget what] from the ‘get-go’.

Actually it is - in the sense of crowning a monarch. Last time I looked, Americans weren’t too keen on that sort of thing.

I’m really sorry, but the verb “to coronate”, meaning “to crown (as, a sovereign)” was first recorded in about 1623.

I think that I am sorry, too. But, ‘coronate’ izzan ugly and difficult verb, to my ears. Not that bees actually possess ears.

Time for bed. Good nights, Cellarites,

I suspect that Twellsy’s example might be a rather different usage

Possibly; or it might be an abusage related to current affairs. (spit)
