Adventures in the Letter F

with one comment

you know how when you are grinding down forks and your house becomes dirty with all that dust? well, there is a word for that.
  • FOAP. To comb back
  • FOMBLITUDE. A weak comparison
  • FOREGANGER. One who goes before
  • FORK-DUST. The dust made in grinding forks
  • FORKELYD. Wrinkled with age
  • FOR-SLEUTHE. To lose through sloth; to be spoilt from lying idle
  • FOR-SNEYE. To do evil slyly
  • FOR-SONGEN. Tired with singing
  • FOR-TEACH. To unteach
  • FOURINGS. An afternoon meal taken at 4 o’clock

Feel free to adopt one of these words and save it from extinction!
