Not much going on. Word of the Day Wednesday, April 16, 2014 picayune\ pik-ee-YOON, pik-uh- \, adjective; 1. of little value or account; small; trifling: a picayune amount. 2. petty, carping, or prejudiced: I didn't want to seem picayune by criticizing. noun: 1. (formerly, in Louisiana, Florida, etc.) a coin equal to half a Spanish real. 2. any small coin, as a five-cent piece. 3. Informal. an insignificant person or thing. Origin: Picayune is rooted in the Provençal word picaioun which meant "small copper coin." It is likely derivative of an onomatopoetic base pikk- which sounds like the process of beating and coining copper. |
