Groud
Groud means “grateful to God for every good thing that’s happening in your life, but totally aware that you could screw it up at any moment because you’re just human" per Kathie Lee Gifford.
From People Magazine August 2017: Kathie Lee Gifford is extremely proud of her two kids, but you won’t ever hear her use that word to tell them so. For PEOPLE’s Celeb Moms Get Real, the Today host explained why she didn’t tell her son Cody, now 27 (daughter Cassidy is 24), that she was proud of him when he received straight As during his first semester at USC film school.
“We don’t say ‘proud’ in our family, we never have,” Gifford says. “Cassidy was still home and she said, ‘Mom, why aren’t you saying something? Aren’t you proud of him?’ And I remember saying, ‘Cass, pride comes before the fall. A good book says that.’ ” “She goes, ‘So Mom, we need a God word for proud,’ ” continues the longtime television personality, 63. “So I thought about it and said, ‘Okay, Cass, let’s make “groud,” meaning “grateful to God for every good thing that’s happening in your life, but totally aware that you could screw it up at any moment because you’re just human.” ‘ ”
