So I found this one while frantically trying to think up really good Table Topics for a Toastmasters meeting this week.
It was frantic, not because of the last minute - but because I am a new member, haven't even given my first speech yet. And these guys, are such a cool bunch of advanced speakers.
I really didn't want to appear lazy in thinking.
So whilst trying to tie in my Table Topics to the theme of the night , 'Find your Voice' , I stumbled across this word looking for a synonym for smoky or husky.
Huh ? Smoky and Husky ? Voice ?
Yes - Nina Simone. She of ' My Baby just cares for me' fame.
And I found fuliginous.
Meaning smoky, dusky or sooty. But not in the voice and sound sense.
And there you have it.
My fireplace would be fuliginous, if I had one, because I'm a pyromaniac. ;-)
