Word of day is ‘unasinous’ (17th century): united in stupidity. A riff on ‘unanimous’: which comes from the Latin for ‘one mind’. ‘Unasinous’ means ‘one ass’.

Word of the day is ‘catch-fart’ (17th century: an obsequious individual who will always follow the political wind.

Worth saying - whatever you think of the legislation and the principle - that courts have been clear time and again that they do not consider right to die to be a human right and that it is a matter for national parliaments to legislate on.

Let's drop the "NHS is not fit for purpose" bullsh*t peddled by the right. I've recently had 3xGP appts, an xray, blood test & 2 lots of meds - all for £0. Got xray appt within 4 days. NHS needs INVESTMENT. It needs to build on the fab NHS staff doing a great job ❤️ #Labour

Etymology of the day: before a tapering piece of hanging ice was called an ‘icicle’ it was an ‘ickle’. In the Middle Ages people decided to add ‘ice’ for extra oomph and (tautologically) called it an ‘ice ickle’, until the two words eventually blended together.

Word of the day, though I’m sure no one will need it, is ‘eye servant’ (16th century): an individual who only pays attention or works hard when the boss is looking.

Etymology of the day: to be ‘blowing a hoolie’ (or ‘hooley’) was probably inspired by the Orkney word ‘hoolan’, a howling gale, with a touch of the ‘hooley’ that is a very noisy party thrown in.

What is it with unsolicited DMs? If you want to say hi, here is fine. If you want a general chat, here is fine.
