"A third protestor was later arrested after she threw glitter on Santorum as he was shaking hands with the crowd," reports the National Journal; obviously "glitter" was the word for the day....
It raised two questions. I knew that glitter (both a noun and a verb) means to shine brightly. As Santorum discovered, it also is that bright tiny stuff that people throw at parties--generally after the third bottle or so. And it comes from the Norse--who generally HAVE to be drunk to be that merry.
What can't I answer? The second question--why was a protestor throwing glitter on Santorum?
