Nay, if an oily palm be not a fruitful
prognostication, I cannot scratch mine
ear.—Prithee, tell her but a worky-day fortune.?
Charmian
Anthony and Cleopatra Act I, Scene ii, Line 50
Worky-day. That’s
the original form of workaday. Tell her an ordinary, mundane fortune, that’s
what Charmian is saying.
Speaking of
Charmian…
...our beautiful daughter-in-law is named Charmaine (slightly different spelling).
Mojo loves going to visit Charmaine because she has a really nice house, and Mojo gets his own luxurious accommodations there. They are anything but worky-day. In fact, they are accommodations fit for a king; which of course, is what Mojo feels he deserves.
It's always quite an adjustment for Mojo when we come home from Charmaine's house. Luckily he has his friend to console him as he eases back into his worky-day accommodations.
