New word: Thimblerig
definition:
- *1 : to cheat by trickery
- 2 : to swindle by a trick in which a small ball or pea is quickly shifted from under one to another of three small cups to fool the spectator guessing its location
Uhm yeah so I wrote this really lame story about this dude who got thimblerigged the whole day, and he even played the thimblerig (3 cups and a pea) game; it wasn’t working for me. I wanted this day to be personal essay day, not fiction writing. So hey, at least we all learned a new word. As for the story, give me a break…it’s my first day. Didn’t mean to thimblerig anybody.
