Mmm. I think she's posted this before...

I know I've seen it before, anyway.

Still, I think this is time for me to ressurrect my Plan To Take Over The World... I mean, to Change the English Language, One Word at a Time! (This plan is better, it has fewer majuscule letters.)

I'll wedge this into my New Year's Resolutions - I'll try to add one new (but really old or dialectical) word into my vocabulary, on a regular basis (not just knowing it and never using it, these have to be useful words which express concepts that are hard to otherwise say) every other week.

Starting, I believe, with hardel and handsmooth.

To help me with my endeavour - any of you have obscure, obsolete, foreign, or otherwise uncommon-in-English words you'd like to contribute to the cause?

Are you really me? Have you been reading my mind? Because I've been shoving "swink" at my family for the past several years.

Doubtful; I didn't know the word existed myself until February or so. But it's still awesome.
