Degringolade

[M. Henri Day]

This word, taken from the excellent wordsmith site, is both extremely topical and quite unusual, a combination which I though would appeal both to our Dr G and fellow Agorists. I think it would both make an excellent GWotD - and perhaps please Mr Twain as well....

Aye, the wordsmith site is quite good. However, I left it when I caught the author in an error to which he would not admit. I figure if you're going to be an arbiter of language and etymology, you should at least accept corrections.

This word, one that has come to have special meaning to me recently, is treated by our Dr. here: http://www.alphadictionary.com/goodword ... gringolade
