Perhaps It Is Just an Outdated Word?
I often come across clues for the word nee when I am doing crossword puzzles. I remember learning this word as a youth. My mom had explained it to me and for some reason it has stuck with me all these years. I don ’ t know why. I have never used the word in conversation nor do I remember her using the word in a sentence but I will write the three letter word whenever I come across the sometimes obscure hint and Roland will ask what it is. I don ’ t know why it stuck. I don ’ t know anyone outside of the puzzle creators that use that word. I don ’ t know if they use it in conversations. How bizarre!
