To "lionize" (LYE-uh-nize) is to treat as an object of great interest or importance.

Example (as used by James Brady in Further Lane): "At Penn State he’d been welcomed, nurtured, lionized as a track and field star who narrowly missed making our Olympic team in the decathlon."

Testimonials

  • “Another really great article!”

    Ho hum. Just another really great article from ETR and Rich Schefren!

    ETR maintains the greatest number of follow-up flags of any e-mail service I subscribe too.

    In fact, I had to convert my daily praxis worksheet approach to a database-based design, just to maintain and use information from ETR alone. And that has lead to new ideas as well.
