corky clamant distingue simpatico cogitate decoct perorate shamble - a regrettable omission here. There is an obsolete word “shamble” meaning a display of cut meat., which as too often misused in the plural as a figure of speech to describe something in disarray Shambles means benches (Anglo-Saxon, scamel; Latin, scamnum, and the diminutive scamellum, a little bench). The benches or banks on which meat is exposed for sale. (See BANK.) 1 “Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question.”—1 Cor. x. 25. ruminate redact rusticate parlous alarum cultus compeer frangible renascence extensile orwellian berserk macadam mansard stakhanovite euhemerism argonaut edentulous diastema dentifrice malocclusion bruxism dentate
