Naughty Nicole: Fabulous Women Throughout History

Ah, my dear listeners, I know this will be a little strange for you, mostly because I try to post on Wednesdays. And usually, I try to be on topic, but with the election happening this Tuesday, and not knowing who will win, I decided I would go ahead and record my show early and focus on something a little less, well, depressing. So, on Today’s episode of The World In My Eyes there is one story I want to bring up and then we’ll spend the rest of the episode focusing on something a little more inspirational. And with all the speculation and hoopla being tossed around for this election season, it only seemed fitting that we use today’s show to focus on women.

At this moment I have no clue who is winning or has won the Presidential election, I’m only sure of one thing and I believe that the clever buggers over at Merriam-Webster’s Twitter page summed it all up all too perfectly. If you didn’t see it, well they updated their Twitter header in honor of the election. And what did they put? Well they decided the most appropriate word possible: Götterdämmerung – for those of you not up to par on your German, it’s translated as “twilight of the Gods” loosely translated from the Norse Ragnorok. And it’s English meaning? Well that’s where the genius of Merriam-Webster comes to light: as they offer the meaning as a collapse (as of a society or regime) marked by catastrophic violence and disorder. And these clever Brainiacs are perfectly on point with their interpretation. We clearly are experiencing Götterdämmerung, and when we wake up tomorrow – we will have the aftermath to clean up after.
