Ana...chron...i...What?

This week I got a OneWordPhoto assignment in my photo club of the word “anachronism” I had not really heard that word used before so I looked it up and in a thesauruses and found it could be a acronym for relic, survival, leftover and holdover. Armed with that knowledge I asked one of my colleagues if she knew what that word meant, she did not but said it sounded like Anna Kournikova which got me thinking. Ana is far from being a relic despite having been around in the tennis world for the last ten+ years though she’s only been truly successful in getting adolescent males to fall totally in love with her and of course her multimillion dollar marketing/modeling endorsements. She can more then survive with her good looks with some leftover.

That being said I think it’s hard to imagine an everyday use for a word like this such as “my grandfather is a anachron (relic)” or “my friend is in the hospital fighting for his very anachronism (survival) or a TV show being called Anachronist (Survivor). if you visit my house I might just ask you to put the anachron (leftovers) in the refrigerator.
