15 New Words From the 1927 Webster's International Directory
I saw this and thought it was totally charming: "15 New Words From the 1927 Webster's International Directory."
Among the new words back then: movie, jazz, airplane, nucleus, windshield. Wow. |

I wish bootleg hadn't got out of style. I really like that word. It's funny that the definition they use uninspected milk as something that was bootlegged. Does anyone actually bootleg milk anymore?
