Boffo Vocab
I've always been an amateur etymologist (even if never much a speller), and back around my senior year of high school I decided somehow to bring back an old word. I don't remember my exact research, but the word I chose was:
Boffo.
And ever since then I have used the old-fashioned word whenever I can.
Thinking about New Year's Resolutions for RGL classes, I wanted to think of fun resolution for myself that I could share with them, and I decided on:
Boffo Vocab!
I resolved to find new, interesting, strange, old, weird words and add them to my already pretty strange vocabulary.
And the first new-to-me word of the year is:
Lustrum.
A period of five years.
You're Welcome
Boffo.
