I love the word nifty. I don't hear it very often.11 total reviews
Comment from Pantygynt
Three mono rhyming quatrains on the subject of the word nifty, apparently an endangered species. Now why is that I wonder. Could it be used in incantations for magic spells as a aphrodisiac, like rhino horn perhaps?
Words lapsing into obsolescence do not do so as a result of people wanting to use them but because people don't want to use them they are like the "poor fool that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more".
To hell with "nifty", what about "shibboleth"? I mean well, I couldn't even spell it right first time.
