« Keep it local – Main – Bullspeak »

Having updated you on my favourite Queen song, here are two words currently hovering towards the top of my favourite words list:

Steatopygous

Oligopoly

The first describes someone or something whose bum sticks out, whilst the second means an area that is dominated by a small group of people / organisations. It is also a rare example of a word which is alliterative and assonantal all at the same time. "Abracadabra" is another.

Anyway, whilst you might ponder other such words, I'm afraid there won't be many posts on arbitrary constant between now and Monday due to a well-earnt break. Stef may certainly post something on Local Government and I plan to return with a round-up of the books and films I've been respectively reading and watching.
