Word of the Day

Word of the Day

twee (adj)

nauseatingly sweet or cute

"Like some cutesy-retro hotel chain, he used the word 'ye' a lot and virtually every word he wrote he ended in 'e'. It all felt rather twee."
--Dominic Streatfeild, Cocaine: An Unauthorized Biography

I've been searching for some Mother's Day cards that aren't either insipid or twee. No easy task.
