One year of a Word of the Week - QUIDDITY

One year, 52 weeks and 52 words of the week. So how about it? Which was your favorite? Which one did you incorporate into your speech?

Disclaimer: All words that I choose come from the 1968 edition of the Webster's New World Dictionary, 2nd college edition. It's nearly 40 years old so we may come across some words that are no longer in general use or have completely changed definitions. But that is part of the fun.
quiddity(n)
1. the essential quality of a thing
2. a trifling distinction; quibble
.
Why not take a moment and see what you can do with it. Use it as a jump start for a short story; if applicable, find a picture of it; let us know how you would incorporate it into your daily life. Whatever you do, post a comment or a link so I can check it out and put a link back to your post. And have fun.
