Page 1 of 2 1 2 > Topic Options #177191 - 05/31/08 08:20 AM Lissatricious??? sbrown stranger Registered: 05/31/08 Posts: 1 A couple questions: [1] There was a word.a.day word meaning "having long straight hair". I thought the word was "lissatricious" (sp???) but can't find that reference. Anyone know what it is? [2] Also - there is an artist / caliglapher who makes words that are written and read both forward, backward and circularly and has a book. Anyone know the author? email me also, if possible, thanks. steve@designassociates.us Top #177192 - 05/31/08 09:16 AM Re: Lissatricious???
