OK, I’ll bite. What’s an Ort?

I was hoping you’d ask!

The Oxford English Dictionary defines ort this way:

“A fragment of food left over from a meal; fodder left by cattle; a refuse scrap; leavings. Usu. in pl. Also fig.: a fragment, esp. of wisdom, wit, knowledge, etc.”

That’ s pretty much what you’ll find here — leftovers from my ruminations about a variety of topics.

I look forward to hearing yours, too.
