Word of the Day

Starting from sometime later this afternoon, the blog will begin to feature something called Word Of the Day (WOD for short) or sometimes with the prefix 'New'. This will contain new words that will help boost your vocabulary. Given that this is a gentleman's blog, it's expected your vocabulary be of Gently caliber. Some of them are words I have stored in my notebook some others will be words i cane across while reading or simply from the internet. Enjoy and keep watch for the words, who knows you could learn a thing or two.
