I've been looking through The Winter Dictionary again! I haven't been outside even as far as the wheely bins because the ground is totally aglidder. Is it slippery where you are too?
Last night I think it may have blunked as
the snow covering is very light. Heavy snow isn't happening around here,
thank goodness! Just a light covering or flindriken.
(Maybe you would call such a light snowfall a greymin, which
sounds a very descriptive word.) I haven't been around to see even
a flother (single snowflake) falling as such snow as
there is fell overnight. Instead everything is chibbly.
Chibbly? That's right, crisp and crackly with frost. I suspect it
would creange if I stepped on it but I won't be
stepping anywhere outside today so I won't hear the crackling of ice or frozen
ground as it breaks under pressure.
I’m enjoying greatly your posts using the words from your new word book. Such fun to read in this chankin ( very cold) weather. Catriona
ReplyDeleteNow that's a word not in this dictionary - thank you!
DeleteI'm just TROSHING long, stopping for the occasional MARDLE, and decluttering the house, FLONKING away happily - that's ambling, chitchat and flinging - quite Normal For Norfolk!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy yourself!
DeleteI am loving these words of yours.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
They're fun, aren't they!
DeleteIt's fun to read all the new winter words! Don't know if I'll remember any of it, though. No snow in my corner of the world, just fire.
ReplyDeleteOh Bless! I'd much rather have what e have than to be in your position. Stay safe.
DeleteThey are so charming but they don't stay in my head to use in conversation.
ReplyDeleteQuite. They are novelty ornaments rather than workaday tools!
DeleteHahahah! Love it! I especially like “chibley” and “hogamadog”! That is great fun!
