Welcome to November 11, 2020 and to Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (aka, FOWC). It’s designed to fill the void after WordPress bailed on its daily one-word prompt.
I will be posting each day’s word just after midnight Pacific Time (US).
Today’s word is “scalawag.”
Write a post using that word. It can be prose, poetry, fiction, non-fiction. It can be any length. It can be just a picture or a drawing if you want. No holds barred, so to speak.
Once you are done, tag your post with #FOWC and create a pingback to this post if you are on WordPress. Please check to confirm that your pingback is there. If not, please manually add your link in the comments.
And be sure to read the posts of other bloggers who respond to this prompt. You will marvel at their creativity.
In the U.S., a scalawag is someone who behaves badly but in an amusingly mischievous rather than harmful way; a rascal.

Yeah, same thing. I wonder how the two spellings diverged?

My husband sometimes calls me a scallywag, which I think must be the British form of scalawag. 😅
