As did I. I will never be too old to learn new and useful words.
It is now on my growing list. For the benefit of other Freepers...
"contemnors = a person or entity who is guilty of contempt before a judicial or legislative body"
“”I will never be too old to learn new and useful words.””
Me either - I love new words but I will never find a use for them in normal conversation. My husband already says “huh?” to everything I say - that’s because he can’t hear now. So be warned, guys or gals - don’t make a habit of saying “huh” because by the time it happens for real, it has grown pretty old and irritating...
Heck - most of the words on my list I wouldn’t even be able to pronounce so that defeats the purpose, doesn’t it? Oh! well, I’m enjoying keeping it anyway.
Did you see “usufruct” and “termagant” in a recent article by Mychal Massie?
Guess who “termagant” applies to:
1.a harsh-tempered or overbearing woman.
There are two possible answers!!! Not hard to guess WHO!!
Usufruct: the right to enjoy the use and advantages of another’s property short of the destruction or waste of its substance.
