Geocache Description:

C is for Cute Critters in a Cache. This cache is populated with a number of little green critters. Please feel free to take one and if so inclined, leave a critter of your own.

Cute is a good example of how a shortened form of a word can take on a life of its own. Cute was originally a shortened form of acute in the sense "keenly perceptive or discerning, shrewd." Cute came to be used as a term for things demonstrating acuteness, and so it went on to develop its own sense of "pretty or fetching." Critter is a pronunciation spelling of creature and reflects a pronunciation that would have been familiar to Shakespeare. The most common meaning of critter is a “a living creature.” The critters in the cache are not living creatures, but they are cute. Cache. . . . .well, you should know the meaning of that word. LOL This cache was created to meet the logging requirements of GC17180-Vocabulary Virus Please replace cache carefully. There is parking available for one or two cars.
