Word of the Day: Quick
Ladies, I am sure you have broken a fingernail more than once.
Have you ever broken a nail and exposed the quick of your finger?
I’m using quick as a noun, which means the delicate pink skin under your fingernail.
If you expose this part of your body, it hurts like all get out.
I hit my finger with a hammer and jammed my finger more than once so severely that I lost my entire fingernail and completely exposed the quick.
WOW! It hurts, and I mean H-U-R-T-S very much!
The next time you break off a fingernail, cut it too short or lose an entire fingernail, the delicate pink skin that is exposed is called the quick, and it HURTS! A lot!
