Word of the Day for Sunday January 1, 2006

I use this word, but people never seem to know what I'm talking about.

vim -
noun:

Power; force; energy; spirit; activity; vigor.

The 76-year-old retired Malaysian schoolteacher displayed so much vim during a recent hike through a national park in Sarawak, astonished rangers began calling her a "recycled teenager."
