The Last Prompts

You may notice that the last three prompts for this cycle are suggested by us at One Single Impression. We are thinking that we are at the end of this journey and perhaps it is time for others to take over the management of this blog. But perhaps it is time for this blog to retire — we simply are not sure. Now there is Facebook (which we are not using to its full potential), Google+ (which we are not using at all), and other new sites and technologies that we honestly do not have the energy to engage. If anyone is interested in leading this group, e-mail Sandy or Andrée at the address on the right. Bless all of you and your talents. We have come to know you personally even if we may not even type to you or you to us. We are friends on Facebook and G+ and don’t want to lose those friendships. So let us know, and we shall move on through the next seven prompts!

 

Please be sure to e-mail your submission and any artwork to us by Friday before the posted date!

Prompt 277: Wrinkle

Haiku Tuna brings us this week's prompt, wrinkle.

Prompt 276: Dash

This week's prompt is dash. I began thinking about the various meanings of the word, so I went over to the Online Etymology Dictionary to track down its origins. I've included all I came across up to dashboard because I thought dashboard was interesting, if not relevant, and that's what happens when you open the dictionary.

dash (n.) 

late 14c., from dash (v.). Sporting sense is from 1881, originally "race run in one heat."

dashing (adj.) 

1801, "given to cutting a dash" (1786), which was a colloquial expression for "acting brilliantly," from dash (n.) in the sense of "showy appearance," which is attested from 1715. The sense of "splashing" is recorded from mid-15c.

dash (v.) 

c.1300, probably from a Scandinavian source (cf. Swedish daska, Danish daske "to beat, strike"), somehow imitative. The oldest sense is that in dash to pieces and dashed hopes. Intransitive meaning "move quickly" appeared c.1300, that of "to write hurriedly" is 1726. Related: Dashed; dashing.

dashboard (n.) 

1846, from dash (v.) + board (n.1); "board in front of a carriage to stop mud from being splashed ("dashed") into the vehicle by the horse's hoofs." Of motor vehicles, from 1904.
