Mr. Vocabulary
Alan McKendree "I'm an anorak for knowing this..."
Alan,
This must be a testament to the lack of action on the list lately. I looked
up one of the words you used as I am always looking for good words to add to
my vocabulary.
Websters's says:
"Main Entry: an·o·rak
Pronunciation: 'a-n&-"rak
Function: noun
Etymology: Danish, from Inuit (Greenland) annoraaq
Date: 1922
: a usually pullover hooded jacket long enough to cover the hips"
huh?
