At the suggestion of a friend - I picked up "Reading the OED" by Ammon Shea (thank you Judy for the suggestion. The author decides to read the entire 20 volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary (crazy soul!)
Just finished chapter A. He listed some of the A words he particularly liked. Here are two of them that I would like to try to remember.
All-overish (adj.) - Feeling an undefined sense of unwell that extends to the whole body
- what a great word.
Assy (adj.) - asinine
- a great new four letter word to use that is not the usual!
