Word of the Day: Waft
I used to love going to the movies when I was young.
It was exciting!
I remember standing outside the theatre, looking up at the posters, trying to decide what to see, and, of course, the smell of delicious, hot, buttered popcorn wafting through the air.
Nothing goes hand in hand better than popcorn and a movie.
Even before I could see the theatre, I could smell the aroma of popcorn wafting through the air to my nose.
I have good memories of watching a movie on a Friday night with a beautiful girl (now my wife) and sharing a large bucket of popcorn between us.
Anyway, enough of waxing nostalgic.
If something, especially a smell or aroma, wafts through the air, we mean that it moves gently through the air from one place to another.
