Word Window: Week Eleven

We are in week eleven of our Word Window series in which we display an Oxford Word of the Week, culled from The Oxford English Dictionary in the windows in front of our NYC office on Madison between 34th and 35th street.

Last week’s word was: Tabloid n.: 1. A compressed or concentrated version of something, in later use esp. with implication of a sensationalist, populist, or reductive approach resembling that of tabloid journalism. 2. A newspaper having pages half the size of those of the average broadsheet, usually characterized as popular in style and dominated by sensational stories.

In case you aren’t in NYC or didn’t get a chance to walk by the office here is what it looked like:

This week’s word is: Big Apple.

Stop by the window to see its definition or check back on the blog next week!
