Learned a new word today

Parasol n. (par-uh-sawl)
A lightweight umbrella used, esp. by women, as a sunshade.

I never knew there exist a word especially for these umbrellas. Parasols will not sell itself in the place I grew up and live in where people actually want to get a tan from the scorching sun.

Words to live by...
