Words I Miss

Friday, February 25, 2011


The European adventure continues, with linguistic surprises at every turn. Now and then a really obscure word pops into my brain, and I think, "What a great word, haven't heard that in about fifteen years! How can I work it into a sentence?" And then, "Will anyone understand it? Will they appreciate the beauty and silliness?" Alas, most of the time all of this starts and ends in my own little head :)

Here are a couple of examples:

Glib - Maudlin - Gams - Catarrh - Snicker - Caboose - and that old favorite, DUDE!

Feel free to add more!

Here's a pic from a festival we did outside Paris last November.

All the best,
