Noisome, as in "noisome exhalation of decay."

Two points for knowing that expression without googling it.

I just wanted to jump in and publicly thank Red Rice for his contributions to this thread. He brings out the best of TNCR.

Thanks, friend!

(back your thread)
You're welcome George. I myself appreciate the intellectual stimulation derived from expanding one's vocabulary.

Take this underused word, for example: sonsy.

And the visual aid:

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

I'll never forget that word.

Sonsy.

I don't even have to look it up. It's obvious.

First time I've heard it called that.
