This gets you in the heart. It’s sadly ancient and beautiful.

A reminder today of the 19th century word 'arsle': to go backwards on a task or mission rather than forward, to the point where you wonder why you started it in the first place (I arsle, you arsle, we are ars(e)ling, etc.).

Word of the morning so far: snudge, a 17th century verb for 'remaining quiet and snug', i.e. nestling with little prospect of moving anywhere.

'A mosquito was heard to complain
That a chemist had poisoned his brain
The cause of his sorrow
Was paradichloro
Diphenyltrichloroethane'

My word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’: a 19th century wooden toy puppet whose limbs jerk about at the whim of the puppet master. It soon became used for a politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.
