There are not many words that start with the letter x and the only words I could think of would be X-ray and Xylophone. But I thought I’d Google “words starting with the letter x” and see what came up. I found the word Xenodochial. I’ve never heard of it but when I read the definition it definitely caught my attention.
Xenodochial: (adj.) friendly to strangers.
Example: “The salesman was very xenodochial; consequently, he led the company in sales this month.”
(Reference: AskVille by Amazon)
Now there’s a word you don’t hear often. I guess in the blogging community everyone is very xenodochial too 😀 Hope you like this short post and if you’re like me you just learned a new word today 🙂
Thanks for reading!
Interesting word! I have never heard of it but it was nice to learn a new word today. You are right, bloggers are quite xenodochial! 🙂

I agree with you. It makes blogging fun and enjoyable and always meeting new people and making new friends. Sort of like ships passing in the night.

Do you feel that way with people you meet blogging on WP? Like you’re both ships passing in the night? I do. Sort of like, “here today, gone tomorrow.” It’s okay sometimes because we get to meet a lot more people that way. I’m also grateful for steadfast friends, like you, on WP.

I’ve never thought of it that way but it really does feel that way. It’s just a passing moment and the next day you find new ships passing by. I’m glad I found you too and we continue to keep in touch 🙂
