turns out 'land of nod' sucks. i probably could have told you that. actually, i think i might have in the initial post. let me check.....right. i slammed it pretty good going into the contest which i usually don't do but this was a special case. i don't know what's going on over at dictionary.com but they're falling into the old merriam-webster "we're just going to throw you some phrase and call it a WOTD" trap. at least m-w would use only latin phrases. phrases aren't words. some words can be phrases and conversely some phrases, words but i'm pretty sure that not all phrases are words. and if my memory serves (which it usually doesn't) i got a solid 'b' in critical thinking so you should totally trust, without question, everything that i write. just don't copy and paste it without doing a spell and grammar check first...
