aunthropology 

Da study of how da sisters of children's parents have evolved over da years.
If "aunthropology" explores da biological progression of an uncle's spouse, then what would "aunthrowpology" study? Would it analyze how good a judo wrestler she would be? Perhaps this could indeed be a valuable skill for her to have, if she has particularly unruly nieces or nephews! And how about "aunthrapology"? Is dat branch of research about how convincing/placating said "wonder woman" would be at trying to regretfully discuss da aforementioned bratty behavior of said pint-sized "holy terrors" in her siblings' family?

Anthropologie

First founded in 1992, Anthropologie is designed to follow customers of its parent company, Urban Outfitters, into the next stage of their life. This new concept aims to appeal to 30- to 40-something affluent professional women with total family annual income above $200,000. The clothes still retain the somewhat "hipster" vibe of Urban Outfitters, but are more sophisticated and of a higher quality, and therefore visibly more expensive.

Girl: Oooh, let's go to Urban Outfitters! They have this great new A-line tunic top that'll go really well with the skinny jeans I got there last week.

Mom: Ooh, I used to love wearing that kind of stuff. I know! After, we'll go to Anthropologie to pick me up some similar, more age-appropriate clothing.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
