I'm about to go to a theme party that it is required to pick a word for your own costume. I made myself a spider suit and couldn't think of anything other than *black widow*.

Is there any possiblity that it might be justified as a word???

Thanks

Dear Miss Daredevil,

Well, of course "Black widow" is two words, as you know-- if it HAS to be one word, how about "tarantula" or better, "arachnid"?

Have fun at your party!

All the best,
Teacher Dian
