tjthai Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 300 years on from the birth of Dr Samuel Johnson, author of the first mass-produced dictionary, the MSN website is looking at words that have not been used for a while. These ones made me smile......... Buffleheaded: a man with a large head, or someone who is dull and stupid. Jobbernowl: an idiot Kakistocracy: a form of government whose rulers are the least competent, least qualified or most unprincipled of all citizens. Snudge: a verb, meaning to be idle. For example: "She snudged around the house until teatime." So, a bufflehead or jobbernowl in the kakistocracy to save face can be moved to an inactive post and snudge in the PM's Office http://news.uk.msn.com/uk/article.aspx?cp-...entid=149732130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
