Selcouth

Postby eberntson » Tue May 22, 2012 11:20 am

Selcouth - Unfamiliar, rare, strange, marvelous, wonderful.

I'm very interested in the word "couth" and after looking it up found it was backwards generated from the word "uncouth", according to some sources. But that implies that "selcouth" is then generated from "couth". My head hurts... fascinating!

And isn't it fun that selcouth is a selcouth word?
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
