Word of the day is a favourite for this time of year. To be ‘crambazzled’, in old Yorkshire dialect, is to be prematurely aged by excess drinking or partying.

Having trouble finding the right gift for the introvert in your life? You can’t go wrong with…
- 3-5 solid hours of blessed silence
- a “get out of function free” card to be redeemed later
- a coupon for a phone call to be made on our behalf
- a text saying you’re not mad at us
- a nice blanket

Word of the day is ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted by work.
I like to add ‘foreswunk’, exhausted before you even begin.

Word of the morning is ‘williwaw’ (19th century): a sudden violent squall or a toppling gust of wind.
Goes well with ‘thunderplump’: a sudden downpour that soaks you to the skin in seconds.
