Word Of The Day...
Once again a word has jumped off of the written page in the comic strip. I've seen this word, but once again ..... ??? I think Brooke McEldowney is intentionally bombarding us with 'choice' words. I'd bet there is a obscure, nebulous reason we will discover later, probably.
osculate = Interesting word. At it's most basic, it means 'to come together'. Frequently used in mathematics (usually geometry..) to describe a figure that has at least three points coincident, in common, with another. To have a common curvature or common tangent. To touch closely.
OR: As here in this comic strip.... to kiss....
