How many English
dictionaries do you have? If you have just one, it is high time you got more
for yourself. Don't be scared, you won't spend a dime purchasing any. All you
need do is to pay google play store a September visit, and download good and
reliable English dictionaries from it. At least five is okay for a start.
Of course! This will help boost your vocabulary and keep you updated.
Stating that English as a
language is dynamic is not new, but it has to be stated for emphasis. With
time, every language (especially the English language) changes; as some older
words become obsolete, new words are formed. Just yesterday I introduced you to
the word, 'nibling' that is currently in few online dictionaries. I am very
sure you had a good time with that newbie! Lol!
Today, I will be
introducing to you a word that is just like 'nibling'. What I mean by 'just
like nibling' is that it is rare in terms of usage, probably because of its
absence in most printed and online dictionaries. Meeting this word will do you
a whole lot of good! It will provide you with the best name to call that friend
of yours that never smiles. At least you have a word for that friend who is
very funny and always smiling. You can always call him a clown. What have you
been calling the one that never smiles? You are now thinking. Aren't you? My
dear, think no more. Just call him AGELAST, and if they are two or
more, call them AGELASTS!
Wow! AGELAST is
the word! It is a noun, and it means one who never laughs (even in comedy
shows); a mirthless person!
Example:
Despite the hilarious
performances of the comedians, Akachi refused to laugh; not even a smile. That
girl is an agelast!
