One of the things I love about my ereader is the built in dictionary. I’m reading Dyed in the Wool by Ngaio Marsh. The word that I just looked up #taradiddle. It’s a dandy.

“A lie, typically one considered harmless or trivial; a fib.”

With so many great unused words, why do the kids insist on making new ones?

"Listen, you #lovely little #freak, #history is full of lies, half-truths, #taradiddle-s... written by the victors and all that."

"Can't write," the barbarian grunted. He swung his sword and the court scribe fell to the floor.

"But, I can win."
