I Learned A Word

Today I learned the word Bucolic!

adjective: bucolic

relating to the pleasant aspects of the countryside and country life.

The context was (roughly) "we should leave for now, we can celebrate when we are somewhere more bucolic." Yet again, shout out Balder's Gate 3.

I wish I remembered the exact sentence but it was said during a cut scene and I forgot to write down more than the word at the time. Basically, we were in a shitty gross place and we did something good, but we weren't going to celebrate till we went somewhere nicer. I don't want to say more as they would be mild spoilers.

As I mentioned in my thread about picaresque, I play Table Top RPGs with my kids. They like to play as traveling band of mercenaries (easy for one shots) and I can use this when describing locations on their travels, such as a small town they may stumble upon. My favorite place to use these words is with my kids because then I get to teach them what it means, so this is a fantastic word!
