Happy #ThursdayWordDay! 

Weekly word nerdiness expansion, coming right up! 

Today's word is germane and if you thought it had something to do with Germans, that's okay because I did too. But no Germans were harmed (or consulted) in the making of this vocabulary word. 

Merriam-Webster says, "germane: adj. 1) relating to a subject in an appropriate way, 2) closely akin." 

Join in the #ThursdayWordDay fun on Twitter and tell me how you used your weekly dose of vocabulary this week.
