"Quotidian": How Commonplace Can You Get?

       "Quotidian"--those big words from Latin to show off with, when it just means "every day."

       But it's fun to play with those Latin roots:  "dian" meaning day and "quot" as in "quota"--how many?  As many as day; so, as many days as you have or live, that's when these things take place, whatever you're referring to--"quotidian," they take place every day.

       Did you know your toothbrushing might be quotidian, your breakfast or lunch, your taking a walk?

       "What's your 'quota' of eating dinners?"  "I don't have a quota.  I just eat them every day."  "Ah."
