I hate to say this, but I actually learned the word ‘lollygagging’ from a game called Skyrim, lol. Sometimes you do learn quite a bit from games, interestingly enough. I myself have discovered a few Italian words from Assassin’s Creed. Anyway, thanks for this post!

Yes, I heard that gaming is the best way to learn vocabulary. I just wondered how much one can learn if all the best games are created with language improvement in their mind. You just proved that what I heard is really something great.

Really interesting post and thanks for adding my word. I found the word rankle quite interesting and I think I may be able to use it in real life at some point. At least I’ll try to.

Same here. I think rankle is a wonderful word and I almost mistook it for a word with similar meanings to “kindle”. Don’t know how that happens.

Really nice ones, Haoyan. 🙂
Thanks for including hobble.
And there’s also riff raff – disreputable people.
Keep going!

Hmm. With you gracious selections from Bonnywood this time, I think I’ll combine two of them into a character name for a future story: Surly Whatnot. As in “Little Surly Whatnot was having a very bad day. First, one of the wheels broke off his red wagon and rolled under a bush…” Yep, I think I can make it work… 😉

Hahaha. I guess whatnot is very upset because it is not given a proper name. Its surliness precipitates the broken wheel and the spill of a whole wagon of blood red wine…

There is another word than I cannot place right now that means ‘online bullies laughing at their target while pretending to be someone else’. It might be a slang term. If I find it, I’ll let you know. I once wrote a post about it, but deleted that blog site ages ago.

I remember in fashion history learning about a “hobble” skirt:

Also, anorak is sometimes applied to someone who for example would stand in a railway station counting trains (slang)! 🥴
