There is a movie in the form of slide show, on a facebook page called "Vintage News" The slide show poses 20 Olde English words and their definitions and the suggestion that we should bring them back.
I wrote this paragraph while watching the slideshow, I thought it was fun and wanted to share:
The world seems to be filled with snollygosters at times. They run businesses operated by fudgels, seemingly doing nothing but twattling all day. Grumbletonians are everywhere but agree on little. And some peg puffs mistaken for having Hum Durgeon, are simply yet to be diagnosed.
I wonder if you have a question or are simply groking in the hopes of a small reward. But I am too pre-occupied with my shivvines to really take notice. To feel crapulous is a luxury some do not know. The mugwump has no time or compassion for your dysania.
Perhaps I should have acted the hugger mugger instead of sharing this attempt to mix Olde English into thought. But as I wipe the elflock from my eyes. I realize I am nothing more than an ultracrepidarian presenting a trumpery viewpoint easily jargogled.
There is no shame in maintaining a Callipygian so at least if you show up the lanspresado you can shake your money maker. And I deflect the notion I am a "cockalorum" as I have become a zwodder
