Wouldn’t that be “Words” of the day? Seeing how there a two words and not one? Or it could be “Phrase of the day”? Which implies more than one word strung together to form a clause or sentence.I prefer the latter in this inarticulate world because, God willing, we take grammar in grammar school and listen to our grammar teachers.
