A WORD A DAY

When I was a kid, we were encouraged to learn a new word every day.

I have tried to follow that discipline over the years but have run out of words to look up or want to know.

I still try make a run at something new as soon as I hear it.

Today's word or phrase is 'give props to'

I had heard it used a lot and knew what it meant but I wanted to know where it came from.

I wanted to use the phrase today but I won't use something I don't really 'get' so I looked it up.

It is from 'give PROPer respect to'.

Yeh, I am a little doubtful too. But I will buy it for now.
