The brainchild of Arlee Bird, at Tossing it Out
|
If you’ve been visiting me for the past five days, you know what this AtoZ Blogging Challenge post is going to be about. It’s time for the letter F to step up to the plate. I have a splendid F word I really like, and, no, it’s not that ubiquitous OTHER F-word–although after yesterday and a small computer glitch I was sorely tempted. Who needs the computer to start burping during the AtoZ?
Today’s word is a brilliant one with the power to evoke a strong emotion–in this case, fear.
Formidable

The IRS agent smiled, but his demeanor was still formidable.
BTW, are you aware there are only 9 days before APRIL 15? Sorry for the formidable reminder.

I still have to do my taxes. Harrowing and formidable! Hope to get them done soon, but I do not like math. ::)

The bearer of formidable news? I take it you're referring to the tax man…
Writer In Transit
Ah, you've found another word I love!!!
Thank goodness that your computer stopped burping and you managed to get "formidable" out along with a truly formidable pic! 🙂
The IRS man is always formidable! Thanks for the reminder!
Thanks for the formidable reminder of how close tax day is- yikes ! Great post.
Thankfully, I got my taxes completed in February! I like "formidable." If ever I'm in an argument, that's the side I like to be on…haha
I have a few more formidable bumps in the road this month, but after that things will slow down and I'll look forward to summer vacation.
We shouldn't have anything to fear from the Challenge! I like the French pronunciation of formidable.
Awwwww it's a fabulously formidable dinosaur!! But what's going to happen on the 15th of April!??! LOL!! I'm confused – easily done! LOL!!
Have fantastic weekend! Take care

I feel that this is the best word to describe the Challenge. Have a great weekend!
I felt formidable as I tackled a huge fearsome brunch today. Hours later I'm wondering where all that formidableness went to. And I just butchered that word. But it's such a fun-word!! 😀 Look forward to tomorrow's letter.
I was really waiting for the other "F" word 😀
Facing my stack of 5th grade essays to score is formidable. Wait, I'm on spring break – I can go back to the letter D – denial.
The T-Rex is formidable, but still my favorite part of Jurassic Park.
Ah T-Rex! Big head and little arms, not so good at jumping jacks or push ups 😀
Yeah, did my taxes early this year *pats self on the back* It wasn't exactly thrilling though. Have a great weekend!
You should pat yourself on the back. Even the "simple" forms confuse the heck out of me.
IRS can be formidable but that T-Rex certainly has a truly fearsome smile going on.
Anything that big and toothy has to give you the shakes. Glad they're not here anymore. That would add just one more thing to worry about.
April Fifteen doesn't scare me!
But you're a great writer, so that's the reason!
So, do you pronounce it for-MID-a-ble or FORM-id-a-ble?
I go with the American pronunciation, but I love to hear for-MID-a-ble. And it seems the British version is gaining popularity here.
Hi Lee .. that formidable finis line, might be flight too far – but I'll be continuing on the formidable posting schedule!
But the phocobulary of the little soul is formidable – if he can keep it up …
Cheers Hilary
You'll make it. You're a pro, Hilary.
I love that smile in his face. It reminds me a bit of your alligators. I just can't stop laughing at the little arms, though.
They do seem puny in comparison to the rest of this fellow. He dates back a bit just like my alligators who are from the Cenozoic period. Of course, my clever fellows survived and old T here didn't make the cut.
Love your A-Z theme, CL! 🙂 And yes, the IRS can be very formidable opponents should you cross them. lol
As honest as I try to be, I still get sweaty when I put that envelop to the IRS into the mail!
Hopefully April 15th isn't looming for too many of us. Great choice to use with formidable though.
I mailed mine yesterday. Such a relief! I hate deadlines and here I am in book publishing–that's always about deadlines.
