The Antaeus's Wordbook. Where words get wonderfully weird because English is stranger than you think.
Formerly titled Disremembered Words. This lexicon has been revised with an additional 1,200 words that I have collected, curated, and illuminated. There are now over 2,725 words with definitions and example sentences in this reiteration of my lexicon. From archaic curiosities to Scottish insults and joyful nonsense, this lexicon turns the English language into an adventure.
