I have to say, if I could just remember a fraction of the great words that the OED posts and explains… well I probably wouldn’t have been so over the moon that the word specious had been used in the TV show Elementary last night. Just a fraction and I could be über… For example, today’s:
Sloothering: an Anglo-Irish term for cajoling, wheedling. Earliest ex.1892: “There do be girls will get round a man wid their slootherin’.”
Seriously want to use that this afternoong
