That is an amazing story about Julia Roberts - another claim to fame.
Bodacious? Bold, brazen, audacious.

Now that's a word that reminds me of the 80s! I didn't know that about Julia Roberts. Xo

David M. Gascoigne, said...

Yesterday we were having lunch with friends and somehow the conversation got around to Sophia Loren. Now she was BODACIOUS!

Andrew said...

The word has always sounded like a slang term to me.
What an amazing story about Julia Roberts.

CJ Kennedy said...

I have only heard bodacious paired with well endowed women. 🤣

Valerie-Jael said...

Bodacious was one of the words teachers used to call me! Hugs!

Christine said...

Interesting

debi o'neille said...

Never heard of the word and never heard that story about Julia Roberts--both interesting! Thanks!

Karen Jones Gowen said...

Now there's a word that brings a young Keanu Reaves to mind.

Sandra Cox said...

EC, Yes and yes:)
Denise, It is reminiscent of the 80s, isn't? I found the Roberts King connection fascinating.

Sandra Cox said...

David, Heh. Yes.
Andrew, Isn't that something, about the King-Roberts connection? I can see why bodacious would be considered slang.
CJ, Heh:)
Christine, Glad you enjoyed.
Debi, Glad you think so:)
Karen, Indeed:) Grinning.

I'm here...I feel like I have slacked off but I don't mean to. I use this word and I have fun with I. I tell my hubby that I have bodacious ta-tas...hahaaa. Sophia Loren, Gina Lollabrigida, Marilyn Monroe, Maureen O’Hara were all bodacious.
I had no idea about Julua Roberts...very cool.
