Zhuzh - it's such a great word. If there were two Zs in scrabble it would be a terrifically helpful word. Spell check is giving it the big red underline, but if it's in Urban Dictionary that's proof enough for me.
Today I decided to give the immediate outdoors of my section a zhuzh up. I am not particularly enarmored with the aesthetics of my house, inside or out. I miss my 'real' house and garden in Tauranga. However from time to time I decide to make it a bit more bearable here in the 'hood and pot up a few plants. I will water them with love until I go back to work, then I will probably forget about them until one day I think - oh shit - the potted plants have carked it. Then it will take me a good few months to do it all again.
Maybe I should get some of those self watering GreenSmart pots?
PS 'carked' also gets the red line treatment. Also a very good word. Possible derivation from carcass, apparently. Did not know that.
Am identifying yet again...it's very fortuitous that my roses visible from the kitchen window, they stare at me reproachfully saying "off with our deadheads" over and over again! Carked- don't you just love the way words evolve their way to us!
