word of the day - whippersnapper

Whippersnapper: a young person considered to be presumptuous or overconfident.

I was often accused of being this when I was younger. Now I'm slow to use it as a label, but I'm still overconfident with most things.

It's a fun word, isn't it? You can just hear an old and cranky voice when you read it... :)

And it rolls off your tongue in such a fun way. :DD

Although I’ve come to prefer A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones’ “You sweet summer child”-particularly fun because it applies to my (year-and-a-half younger) brother’s and (three-and-a-half-month younger) sister-in-law’s season of birth.
