Hmmm...come across a few of those in my time. Think there's still one or 2 floating around work.
Thanks Gary. I've always liked that word. It's a great sounding word. |

actually it's not a real word, jewel just used in in her song "louisa and her blue guitar" she's saying her face is old from wishing on the stars too much
