DAY 88 Now to find a new home, start praying everyone, I need to find in the next few days!

LIONIZE

verb, to treat as an object of great interest or importance, British, to show the sights of a place to.

The lion is traditionally regarded as the king of beasts, and perhaps rightly so--the lion is brave, stately, and quite often ferocious. Those qualities that earn the lion respect from the other creatures were probably in people's minds when, in the 18th century, "lion" came to be used for a person who is similarly well regarded, especially after a long and distinguished career in a particular field. A veteran lawmaker might be considered one of the lions of the Senate; a literary lion has enjoyed a long career as a successful writer. This sense of "lion" forms the basis of "lionize," which first appeared in English in the early 19th century.
