"It took the sea a thousand years,
A thousand years to trace
The granite features of this cliff,
In crag and scarp and base.

It took the sea an hour one night,
An hour of storm to place
The sculpture of these granite seams
Upon a woman's face."

'Erosion' by NL poet EJ Pratt

Baby elephants typically don't learn to control their trunks until they're about a year old, which may result in behavior like this.

Word of the day is a reminder of 'trumperiness' (19th century): the state of being extremely showy, yet utterly worthless.

The final dance in Dirty Dancing, but they’re dancing to The Muppet Show theme tune.

[Paula Dyke @pauladyke]

Hmmmmm. There’s a word for that!?!

'Nod-crafty' (17th century): having the knack of nodding with an air of great interest and understanding, when you actually tuned out hours ago.

[Paula Dyke @pauladyke]

I wish you happy sossing!

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Should you need it at the end of a long week, to 'soss' (18th century) is to flop heavily onto the nearest sofa/chair/bed.

[Paula Dyke @pauladyke]

Hmmmmm. Know anyone?

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day is ‘ultracrepidarian’ (19th century): one who loves to hold forth on subjects they know absolutely nothing about.

Love this twitter feed.

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day is 'maw-worm' (19th century): one who insists that they have done nothing wrong, despite evidence to the contrary.
