Wordy Wednesday: FOIST

This week’s word is FOIST

Verb [with object] (foist someone/something on/into)

~Impose an unwelcome or unnecessary  person or thing on: Don’t foist inferior products on others.

~Introduce someone or something surreptitiously or unwarrantably into: He tried to foist a new candidate into the race.

It comes from a Dutch word from the mid 16^th century.

So why do I like this word? Again, I like the way it sounds. I look forward to seeing how I can use foist in one of my stories.

“Holly & Ivy,” my #HistoricalRomance novella in A #BouquetOfBrides, takes place

in 1890, in Washington State. It’s about a young woman who accompanies her impetuous younger sister on her trip across the country to be a Christmas mail-order bride and is helped by a gallant stranger.
