Thems Big Words...

Being someone who's passionate about words [and language in general] I've been meaning to put up this link for a while.

Go on, adopt a word today [please?]

I have adopted several words, two of which are:

'uglyography'
[bad handwriting]

Marion had uglyography ever since she was young, and eventually became the country's top doctor.

and

'woundikins'
[mild profanity]

She wouldn't tolerate woundikins, so little Jimmy's cry of 'poopydrawers' soon upset the kindergarten teacher.
