[Contact](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/en-us/contact) What are you looking for? # Book Brew 93: Word Treasures Part V February 17, 2025 ![Picture of Danielle Price Griffin](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/31045232924d123af765cd9b1925a9ce) [Danielle Price Griffin](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/blog/author/danielle) ![Book Brew](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/hubfs/Mindful%20Musings.jpg) So the [last installment](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/blog/book-brew-54-word-treasures-part-iv) of [Word Treasures](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/blog/tag/word-treasure) wasn't actually the last one - I have found lots of new words since then. Words can express not just meaning but also beauty, emotion, and nuance. This set of treasures explores the elegance of nicknames, the sweetness of sound, and the dignity of human character. ## Today’s Word Gems - **Sobriquet** (noun) - a person’s nickname - NYT Games: Connections No. 429 - **Mellifluous** (adj) - (of a voice or words) sweet or musical; pleasant to hear - Fairy Tale, pg 185 - “Or perhaps my mellifluous voice has hypnotized you?” - **Ennobling** (verb) - lend greater dignity or nobility of character to - The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, pg 224 - “It is much more ennobling to the human spirit to let people judge themselves than to judge them.” ## Ponder This 1. What nickname or sobriquet has had special meaning in your life? 2. How does mellifluous language influence how we perceive people or experiences? ### Books - Fairy Tale - Stephen King - The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen Covey ### Share: [Share on Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://thoughtsbrewing.com/blog/book-brew-93-word-treasures-part-v&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook) [Share on LinkedIn](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://thoughtsbrewing.com/blog/book-brew-93-word-treasures-part-v&utm_medium=social&utm_source=linkedin) [Share on X](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https://thoughtsbrewing.com/blog/book-brew-93-word-treasures-part-v&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&url=https://thoughtsbrewing.com/blog/book-brew-93-word-treasures-part-v&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Book%20Brew%2093:%20Word%20Treasures%20Part%20V) [Book Brew](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/blog/tag/book-brew), [Word Treasure](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/blog/tag/word-treasure), [Definitions](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/blog/tag/definitions) ## Comments ## Related posts ##### Menu - [Home](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/en-us/home) - [About](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/en-us/about) - [Blog](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/blog) - [AI Training/Courses](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/en-us/courses) - [Fractional COO/CTO Services](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/en-us/fractional-coo/cto-services) - [Contact](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/en-us/contact) [Privacy Policy](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/en-us/privacy-policy)   |  [Terms of Use](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/en-us/terms-of-use)    |   Herndon, VA   |   703-296-9912   |   ©2022-2026 Copyright Thoughts Brewing, LLC [Follow us on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/thoughts-brewing-llc) [Follow us on Facebook](https://www.youtube.com/@thoughtsbrewingllc) [Find us on Google](https://g.co/kgs/YhpnVFp) [Find us on Yelp](https://www.yelp.com/biz/thoughts-brewing-herndon) [Follow us on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/thoughtsbrewingllc) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Danielle Price Griffin", "url" : "https://thoughtsbrewing.com/blog/author/danielle" }, "dateModified" : "2025-02-17T16:45:00.559Z", "datePublished" : "2025-02-17T16:45:00.000Z", "headline" : "Book Brew 93: Word Treasures Part V", "image" : [ "https://thoughtsbrewing.com/hubfs/Mindful%20Musings.jpg" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://thoughtsbrewing.com/blog/book-brew-93-word-treasures-part-v", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://thoughtsbrewing.com/hubfs/Thoughts%20Brewing%20Logo_Round_Final_Light%20Blue_Transparent%20Background-1.png" }, "name" : "Thoughts Brewing, LLC" } } ``` ```json { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "Organization", "address" : { "@type" : "PostalAddress", "addressCountry" : "United States of America", "addressLocality" : "Herndon", "addressRegion" : "Virginia", "postalCode" : "20170", "streetAddress" : "205 Van Buren Street, Suite 120" }, "email" : "contact@thoughtsbrewing.com", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://24461783.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/24461783/Thoughts%20Brewing%20Logo_Round_Final_Light%20Blue_Transparent%20Background-1.png" }, "name" : "Thoughts Brewing, LLC", "telephone" : "703-296-9912", "url" : "thoughtsbrewing.com" } ``` ```json { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "abstract" : "Discover delightful words that express beauty, emotion, and nuance in this exploration of nicknames, mellifluous sounds, and ennobling language.", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Danielle Price Griffin" }, "dateModified" : "17 Feb 2025, 16:45", "datePublished" : "2025-02-17 16:45:00", "headline" : "Book Brew 93: Word Treasures Part V", "image" : "https://24461783.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/24461783/Mindful%20Musings.jpg", "inLanguage" : "en", "keywords" : "[Book Brew, Word Treasure, Definitions]", "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@type" : "WebPage" }, "name" : "Book Brew 93: Word Treasures Part V", "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://24461783.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/24461783/Thoughts%20Brewing%20Logo_Round_Final_Light%20Blue_Transparent%20Background-1.png" }, "name" : "Thoughts Brewing, LLC" }, "text" : "So the last installment of Word Treasures wasn't actually the last one - I have found lots of new words since then.
