My blog is often described as quirky and I take that as a real compliment: it's probably the best way I'd like you to think about Veg Plotting. But what does quirky actually mean? The Free Dictionary defines quirk (pronounced kwurk) as:
- A peculiarity of behavior; an idiosyncrasy: "Every man has his own quirks and twists" (Harriet Beecher Stowe).
- An unpredictable or unaccountable act or event; a vagary: a quirk of fate.
- A sudden sharp turn or twist.
- An equivocation; a quibble.
- Architecture - a lengthwise groove on a moulding between the convex upper part and the soffit.
odd, unusual, eccentric, idiosyncratic, curious, peculiar, unpredictable, rum (Brit. slang), singular, fanciful, whimsical, capricious, offbeat, out there (slang) We've developed a reputation for being quite quirky and original.
Well, perhaps I can't fulfill definition number 5, but I aim to do something with 1-4 and all those Thesaurus options ;)
Seeing quirky means unpredictable, perhaps the ABC Wednesday meme can be described in the same way? Hop on over to today's contributors and see what you think.
Quite right VP - quirky describes the very quintessence of your blog :)

I suppose my blog's a little quirky, too. Mostly because I can't commit to a single theme!
ReplyDeleteSurely being an allotmenteer means that you have to be somewhat quirky! xx
ReplyDeleteYes, quirky is a good word and you are right to think of your blog that way. In fact, I'd say, quirky is excellent, just like Veg Plotting.
ReplyDeleteI like quirky!! Quirky is good. :)
ReplyDeleteClever use of the word an all the definitions. Stop by and see my quirk quilt.
ReplyDeleteQuirky is a worthy goal, which you clearly have achieved. I'm aiming for eccentric myself.
ReplyDeleteQuirky is good for blogs! And other things as well!
ReplyDeleteHi everyone - I suppose an awful lot of bloggers are rather quirky, particularly if they post on just about anything!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments and compliments everyone :)
I think "quirky" also suggests interesting, which your blog always is, VP!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rose and BTW MMD, I like the look of eccentric too - perhaps that's why we like each other's blogs?
