Word of the Day: Sailing [sey-ling] n.


An aqueous pastime pursued by men of means who relish the prospect of being blown out to sea on a Sunday afternoon. Also an obscure Anglo-Saxon dialect spoken by such hobbyists, consisting largely of phrases like 'Hoist the thwizzlejib' and 'Squinch the starboard squallnoggin'.
