My dictionary flopped open at the letter H when I grabbed it today. So I perused and found some words I use - although not often - and know what they mean without looking at the definition. I now plan to use these words as often as possible from now to Monday!
Thought it might be fun if y'all just gave a look at a letter and told us what you'd "re-discovered."
Hooligan, habanera, habedasher, habitation, hacienda,hackie, hackney, hacknied, haemony,halcyon, halberdier (that's gonna be a tough one!)
And that's just the "Ha" list - I began to get dizzy!

I've a friend with the surname of Halbert. If Albert flies from halberdier, then certainly Halbert will fly, too.

Are you trying to cause a flap? Or just to win the pennant race?
