Welcome, BonBon. Those are great words, but I only know the definitions to two of them.
The definitions were written beside the two words
BB.

My apologies, BonBon, I didn't quite understand your posting format and thanks for answering my question. I really don't care how anyone posts a word here, as long as I don't have to look up the definition. Other than that, post freely and regularly, I would say. LOL
Today will be my last post for a few days, maybe a week, or two. Tomorrow morning, I am heading to San Pedro to take a cruise to Mexico for 8 days and am leaving early to visit family, who live in the area. The boat has an internet café, so if I feel inclined, I might pop in, post a word, and mention how much fun I am having. I sincerely hope you will carry on without me, and I will look forward to reading whatever you have decided to post, when I get the chance. Thanks for being such a good group to hang with.
Back to a previous entry:
mum(1) - adj SILENT [keep ~]
Therefore:
mum(2) - vi 1. to act or play usually in mask or disguise 2. to go about merrymaking in disguise during festivals
From this, I would assume that the second definition predates the first. Is this correct?
Back to a previous entry:
mum(1) - adj SILENT [keep ~]
...
Og, so, which do you think came first, the silent aspect of mum, or the merrymaking in disguise?
...
Shorter Oxford Dictionary:
Mum. Vulgar form of Ma'am
It should probably be noted, that the word vulgar[/i] here is almost certainly being used in its primary sense, meaning of the common people, and not in its more common secondary sense of boorish; offensive to good taste.
Og, that is what I thought. Merrymaking in disguise is very old, indeed, and I think some of those genes made their way into me. hehe
...
merrymaking - noun
joyful or festive activity <Christmas Eve is always an occasion of much merrymaking at our home>
Synonyms: conviviality, festivity, gaiety (also gayety), jollification, jollity, merriment, rejoicing, reveling (or revelling), revelry, whoopee
(just a bump so Allard can find it again. )
Hello posters, I have returned and am recovering from too much fun, of course.
Thanks for the bump, Harold.
I don't hear or read this one very often any more, does anyone else?
multifarious - adj having great variety: DIVERSE
Handley, I do believe the English use more of their language than any other so-called English-speakers on Earth. What they do to words in the Southern part of America is almost unintelligible. Just ask anyone, who lives back there, how to say Louisville and then stand back and wonder how they could possibly come up with that.
These next two are food related and I hope someone has a story about the first one;
mulligatawny - noun a soup usually of chicken stock seasoned with curry
mulligan - noun a stew basically of vegetables and meat or fish
mullish - adj STUBBORN, INFLEXIBLE
...
So, how did mull become mullish with no obvious connection to the original word? I would not think that pondering at length leads to stubborn inflexibility.
mulish
adjective
of or like a mule, as being very stubborn, obstinate, or intractable.
Origin:
1745–55; mule1 + -ish1
Carlus, I suppose editors know best and in the case of the golf stroke called a mulligan, probably so. Thanks for the added information. I must ask what your first book is about?
