A to Z Challenge 2015: P - The Princess Bride

Happy Saturday!

I almost didn't get this post done in time.

Today's 2015 April A to Z Blogging Challenge story for the letter P:

The Princess Bride

Here is the summary, from IMDB:

While home sick in bed, a young boy's grandfather reads him a story called The Princess Bride.

Director: Rob Reiner
Writers: William Goldman (book), William Goldman (screenplay)
Stars: Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin, Robin Wright

What a terrible summary! That doesn't describe the story at all.

That's it! Enjoy your day off tomorrow.

A to Z Challenge: P - Pilfer

Pilfer

I don't remember where I first heard this word (probably Dungeons & Dragons), but I've always thought it sounded like the nicest way to refer to petty thievery.

pil·fer [pilfər] v. to steal (typically a small amount or item of little value)

Synonyms: filch, steal, purloin, lift, pinch, thieve, prig, nick, swipe

Etymology: c.1400 (n.), from O.Fr. pelfre "booty, spoils" (11c.), of unknown origin, possibly related to pelf. The verb is first recorded 1540s. Related: Pilfered; pilfering.

NOTE: Today is my day to post over at the A to Z Challenge blog, so please stop by, and read some things about P.
