the worthless word for the day is: agenbite of inwit
from "The Ayenbite of Inwyt" a 14th century treatise
on the "again-biting" of the inner wit, the remorse
of conscience; borrowed by Joyce and made a part of
Leopold Blooms's character in _Ulysses_ (he used it
"at least eight times", according to Words@Random).
