“TREEVIAL” – Wednesday’s Wordapod

Wednesday’s Wordapod Created by Matthew J. Goldberg, author of Wordapodia, Volume One: An Encyclopedia of Real Fake Words

In honor of the Jewish holiday of Tu B’Shevat—the 15^th of the month of Shevat, which celebrates the new year for trees, today’s Wordapod is TREEVIAL. Warning: There may be close to 15 plays on words here.

TREEVIAL

Treevial (adj) – possessing an exhaustive (and exhausting) amount of knowledge about trees

Please Note:  A synonym for treevial that some prefer is arbore-real. Treeviality and arbore-reality are equally valid word forms.

Sample Sentence: Jack annoys me every single time with his need to share every treevial fact and figure with me.

Observation:

Curiously, with all of the television networks available, there have been very few (if any) arbore-reality TV series. Not that there would be too many people pining away for such a show.

If there are any networks that are looking for some treevial new shows, I propose the following series titles:

• This Old Tree House
• More and More Sycamores
• Sap Me Quickly
• Grey’s Botany
• Planting with the Stars
• Roots (sorry)
• Making an Ash Out of Myself
