Reading the OED

[dragonyphoenix]

I just picked up Reading the OED: One man, One Year, 21,730 Pages.

Abluvion (n.) Substance or things that are washed away.
Chances are you have never stared at the dirty bathwater washing down the drain and wondered, Is there a word for that? but now you will forever be cursed with the knowledge that indeed there is.

Hee! I'm definitely looking forward to checking this out.
