I call T a divot. She’s gotten to like it though, I’ll need to come up with something else.

Herself uses quite a few as well but I don’t know what they mean as it’s all in Polish.

Same thing, the Better Half was using it, I said it’s not a proper word. Even now, as I’m typing, the spell checker is agreeing with me. Check the Webster dictionary and it’s there. Archaic English, but it’s there. Complete with a quote from Shakespeare.

Laughed my ass off at the time, then got hit on the head with the dictionary.
