Word of the Day for Saturday, June 27, 2009quidnunc \KWID-nuhngk\, noun: One who is curious to know everything that passes; one who knows or pretends to know all that is going on; a gossip; a busybody. What a treasure-trove to these venerable quidnuncs, could they have guessed the secret which Hepzibah and Clifford were carrying along with them! Some wretched intrigue which had puzzled two generations of quidnuncs. Quidnunc comes from Latin quid nunc?, "what now?" | |||||||||
