Word of the Day… not actually daily, but whenever I encounter one I think worth sharing and there are not too many on my landing page. Words have always fascinated me, and I am a fan of all types of word play, especially puns. I have a hard time not looking up a word that I am unfamiliar with or not sure of the definition. I like those authors that stretch me by throwing in unexpected terms.
- Noun: Slubberdegullion
- a dirty rascal
- Synonyms:
- scoundrel
- wretch
- Encountered: One of the myriad of subscribers to my blog – well, okay, one of the handful of subscribers to my blog – sent it to me.
- Usage: Looking for an example, I came across the following quote: “I didn’t know from your voice you were such a fat slubberdegullion, there’s more blubber on you than on a whole school of whales.” from Fidelis Morgan’s book: The Rival Queens: A Countess Ashby de la Zouche Mystery.
