A word I've never used...





I like reading news events...and non-events sometimes. As well as tracking some interesting history.

I've also wanted to expand my vocabulary.

Here's a new one for me...

sough

PRONUNCIATION:
(suhf, sau) 

MEANING:
verb intr.:To make a moaning, sighing, whistling, murmuring, or rustling sound.
noun:1. Such a sound.
 2. A rumor.

    1. Well, now that we're talking about it...I'll look for somewhere it might fit in conversation.

  4. Like AC, I've read it. I think it sounds too much like a female pig for me to use it without giggling.

  5. Interesting new word. I may try to use it some time, if I can remember.

  6. I just was offered some products that explain why they use the term Mazol Tough. It's said somewhere like Touf and the appropriate Tough like nails.

  7. I knew the word but not wit that meaning. A "sough" is a drainage channel for a mine. I'd heard it used in the old lead mines of Derbyshire where water still pours out from old mine workings into nearby streams.
