It was on fire when I laid down on it. (May be the best title for a book EVER!
I remember reading that book when I was a teenager
& the title stuck in my head as being quite memorable, too
"Administrative dysphoria"-my shrink made that one up (as a joke we shared) today,
when I told her how I used to enjoy collating papers but now I find it annoys me instead.
Too many words (that I adore the sound/spelling of) to list...
accoutrements
retinue
crepuscular
cantilever
architectonics
torsion
frippery
aspersions
disgorge
transpose
...and so on.
Armchair. I saw it in a book last night and thought to contribute it here.
On a bus in Brazil, I saw a bilingual sign using the English word "Armchair" with reference to the seats of the bus (maybe, "Do not put feet or gum on armchairs"), which I though was beautiful.
"I don't give 'a tinker's damn' " & "damning with faint praise"
Is that d-word allowed or should I have used this icon ?
Just doesn't sound the same to say "tinker's darn"
or "darning with faint praise" (sounds more like a sewing mishap)
