The word of the day was going to be estivation, since Mighty Girl just used it, but I hit esc while typing and lost my entry. You'll just have to look the word up yourself.

The new word of the day is, instead:

onus - a difficult or disagreeable responsibility or necessity; a burden or obligation. From Dictionary.com, and used quite wordsmithily by Simon Taylor in a response to David Coursey's pro-Smart Tags article.

You, my brilliant reader, probably know all about Smart Tags and have an opinion. Thus, I'm not going to supply you with mine. If you are of the impressionale sort, you could read Mossberg's or Guglielmo's articles on the topics (thanks to DaveNet).
