Today I used the word “scintillating” in conversation and had a random flashback to being a child and hearing it for the first time. It was an episode of Zoboomafoo, a children’s preschool show about a lemur puppet/real lemur teaching children about animals.
The titular lemur looked right at the camera and said “scintillatiiiiiing” in a very sarcastic way and it stuck with me my whole dang life.
What show or film taught you a new word in a weird way?
