        The Word of the Day for Apr 23 is:
        \klowd-KOO-koo-land\ noun

        : a realm of fantasy or of whimsical or foolish behavior


        Example sentence:
        If the boss really thinks he can up productivity and increase profit after the
        company is downsized, he is living in cloud-cuckoo-land.

        Did you know?
        In Aristophanes' 5th century B.C. comedy Birds, Peisthetaerus (a human)
        convinces the king of the birds and his followers to help him build an ideal
        city juxtaposed between heaven and earth. They plan to intercept all of the
        sacrifices rising from the earth to the gods on Olympus, thereby starving the
        gods into cooperating with them. The newly built city is
        dubbed "Nephelokokkygia," (from "nephos," meaning "cloud," and "kokkyx," the
        native European cuckoo). By the late 19th century, English speakers had
        translated the town's name as "Cloud-Cuckoo-Land" and had begun using it as a
        general term for any similarly unreal or whimsical place or situation.

        *Indicates the sense illustrated in the example sentence.
