Favorite Old Words
A few days ago The Guardian put out a piece asking for "old" words people still use. The actual article has basically no meaning, but the comments, of which there are quite a few, are rather fun to go through. Do any of you use any of the terms mentioned?
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.

I need a little more specificity. Please add a link to the Guardian.

I wonder how I managed to leave out the link. Sorry about that. Here 'tis: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfre ... e-twerking
Sadly, since I made the original post, The Guardian has changed something in their formatting and I can no longer read the comments, so I no longer can say anything about what I thought I was saying.

Still there under Word of the Year, where he asks for duch terms. You click on the comments to find yawp, slubberdegudeon, absqualate, and on and on for over 300 of them.
