SAY WHAT... ?!

These are 'real', although obscure, rarely used and mostly forgotten words from the English language...

DIBBLE - To drink like a duck, lifting up the head after each sip.

EYESERVICE - Work done only when the boss is watching.

LIBBERWORT - Food or drink that makes one idle and stupid. Food of no nutritional value; junk food.

CHANTEPLEURE - To sing and weep at the same time.

MEUPAREUNIA - A sexual act gratifying to only one participant.

So... this morning I couldn't help but dibble my coffee followed by some eyeservice. For lunch I will libberwort and this will lead me to chantepleure, and finally when I get home I will engage in meupareunia either with someone, or if need be on my own!
