Four words for a Thursday

trice-from 15th century Middle English-meaning: a moment

triptych-from Greek-meaning: a carving or picture with three panels side by side such as this picture from WallyG from Flickr : Christ Blessing, Surrounded by a Donor and His Family (Triptych of a Protestant Family) ca. 1575-80 Attributed to Ludger tom Ring the Younger (German, 15221584) Oil on wood

trophic-from French and Greek-meaning: relating to nutrition

trumpery (which sums up this post!)-from 15th century Middle English and Middle French-meaning: worthless nonsense

I'm so glad you had a picture of a triptych! I was just telling Eric about them last week, and we saw one at the BYU art museum. Aren't we just soooo cultured!
