The word of the day is designed to broaden our grammatical horizons. Nothing is more impressive than casually spouting off 5-syllable masterpieces in mid-sentence – except maybe really big boobs… Anyway, every day I’ll post a new word for you to work into daily conversation so that you can wow friends, dazzle coworkers and confuse blonde girls and frat guys, because learning is fun and knowing is half the battle. |
Dhole: n. "A wild Asiatic dog."
It seems to me that when the Asians named this animal, they mixed up the English derogatory slang terms "a-hole" and "dickhead" and came up with "d-hole." That's kind of a stretch though, I guess. Especially since the "h" is supposed to be silent. Whatev.
