I like to keep old words saved.
But many don't want it aged
I wonder who knows this word?
Hubby certainly never heard so never heard.
He was never in the army,
harmed for life by his abusive father,
He also never carried a sword,
fights for him not bothered.
But he never spoke bad about soldiers.
Use of the word cap hat
meant crap to him.
His father made him dim.
Mind you, he does not like hats at all.
