Today’s “Word of the Day” is “holy grail” and it is a noun meaning “an elusive thing that is in demand for its value (but very difficult to find/get) or an ultimate ambition/goal that is strongly desired for its great importance (but very difficult to achieve); Put simply, it is something that a person wants very much to have/achieve, but very difficult to find/achieve. (Holy Grail is traditionally thought to be the cup that Jesus Christ drank from at the Last Supper)”.
Example Sentence: “Engagement” is the holy grail of social media and digital advertising. For Facebook, more engagement means more ad dollars – which is how it makes most of its money.
