This was taken last year in one of the finest of Lamma's food and beverages outlets. Does anyone know who these two ladies are that are sharing a pint with that kick boxer bloke and which bar they're in?

Taken today. Where on Lamma?
This is BIG, impossible to miss when you walk by...

But what is "solic'itude"? Sounds kinda kinky...

The concrete wall near the very temporary temporary heli-pad? Or should I say, the apron?

Correctamundo!

So, did you find out what "solic'itude" means?

But what have you been doing out there at the temp helipad apron, wearing an apron? Trying to hitch a ride?

Thanks for this really great link!
I love the reverse dictionary feature that lets you describe what you're looking for and it'll give you a list of words.

The obscure dictionaries accessible via this site are amazing. Some of them:

Grandiloquent Dictionary
Hutchinson's Dictionary of Difficult Words
Forthrights Phrontistery - Dictionary of Obscure Words
Luciferous Logolepsy

I could spend hours browsing, if I wouldn't have some work to do with less obscure dictionaries today, translating some French and German stuff.

Sorry, couldn't resist to browse the "Grandiloquent Dictionary:
This is the result of an ongoing project to collect and distribute the most obscure and rare words in the English language."


Some words starting with "a" that might be useful in your next heated argument down at the pub:

abderian - given to incessant or idiotic laughter
abecedarian - A person who is learning the alphabet
abligurition - Excessive spending on food and drink
adoxography - Skilled writing about an unimportant subject
aeolist - A pompous windy bore who pretends to have inspiration
aichmorhabdophobia - A fear of being beaten with a pointed stick
algerining - Prowling around with the intent to commit burglary
allodoxaphobia - A fear of other people's opinions
amentia - temporary insanity or a dazed trance
amomaxiaphobia - A fear of making love in an automobile
apodyopsis - The act of mentally undressing someone
autohagiographer - A person who speaks or writes in a smug way about their life and accomplishments

So, does this mean that I'm an abderian aeolist and amential autohagiographer engaged in adoxography and full of allodoxaphobia?

Probably, but it's way too much fun to stop now...
