New Words: Eigenharp.
It's this mad cat sound beat box, mix of a basson and a guitar. I know I know, you think of an accordian and say... bad idea, right? But this is different. After centuries with little variation in musical instruments, this is a breakthrough. The music is all there and the folks be jammin. It's a long narrow instrument about the size of a basson which has a small winding pipe to blow on, and on the front of it are what look like guitar strings. So it's a combination of a wind instrument and a string instrument. Ingenius!
Next word: Moroso.
It's Spanish. For in default.
so if you have a loan in Mexico and you don't have any money to pay it... Moroso, Senor!
Third word: Dirl
It means to shake, or vibrate. Having been playing Scabble lately, I've been finding all sorts of obscure words. I don't know why this isn't in the common use. What a handy word!
Used in a sentence: I dirled the package but could not discern what was in it.
That ends our wonderful words of the day! I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did.
