LIES

October 15, 2019 by Samantha Leboeuf-founder/daily wisdom words, LLC

We all know what a lie is, even children. I would like to focus on the lies we tell ourselves. The lies in life we tell ourselves are usually stemming from fear. I have recently realized I have been lying to myself out of fear, and fear is where lying to ourselves starts. Sometimes, we … Read more

Hello all,

Today's Daily Wisdom Word is telegenic.  Telegenic means "suited for television".

Have you ever watched a show and gotten so caught up in the subject of the television show you forgot you were even watching a show at all?  Instead, you were standing right next to the characters inside the television screen? One thing it also means is the characters are great actors.  They are telegenic;  so suited for television and the character they play.  Telegenic also can mean you watching the show and getting lost in the show itself.

I think a lot of being telegenic has to do with how well the actor plays the character.  You will find yourself watching this same show over and over again;  Why?  because it does not feel like a television show at all.  It feels like those same actors are just more of the same character.  Have you ever heard the word telegenic before?  This word can only be applied to people watching a show or actors in the show.

Telegenic actors especially apply to newscasters and anchors. Telegenic means for them having their hair and makeup one for the set. Why did I pick this word today?  Because I know if I don't know about a word, I am not the only one.

The word originated from the 1930's and we don't hear it often since that era.

Thanks so much for listening and reading about our new word of the day, telegenic.  I would really be interested in hearing someone use it again since it is an older word used in a different era.  Please under the comments section, write a poem using the word, telegenic in it and grasping its meaning enough to write the poem. My definition of the word telegenic is in the word in the first paragraph Of the Webster vocabulary builder.  I go live M-F 10:00 am until 12:00 pm Standard mountain time, for two hours.  please post your comment on telegenic  underneath my post in the comments section of this post. thanks a lot for reading and participating today!
