Thursday Word Day: Pablum

Hey, hey! It's #ThursdayWordDay! 

Today's word pretty much sums up how I feel about 90% of clickbait (because, let's be honest, we all enjoy a little). 

Dictionary.com says, "pablum: noun. trite, naive, or simplistic ideas or writings; intellectual pap."

Ironically, Pablum is also a trademark for a "brand of soft, bland cereal for infants," which really explains the whole clickbait thing pretty well. 

Got a favorite vocab word? Share it in the comments and I'll give you a shoutout for a future #ThursdayWordDay.
