And he’s one of the first friends I made when I started comedy.

Today’s word of the day is “Slapdash,” done too hurriedly and carelessly.







Did you know: An early recorded use of slapdash comes from 17th-century British poet and dramatist John Dryden, who used it as an adverb in his play The Kind Keeper. “Down I put the notes slap-dash,” he wrote. The Oxford English Dictionary defines this sense, in part, as “with, or as with, a slap and a dash,” perhaps suggesting the notion of an action (such as painting) performed with quick, imprecise movements. The adjective slapdash is familiar today describing something done in a hasty, careless, or haphazard manner.

Today’s word of the day is “bilbo,” which is a long bar of iron with sliding shackles used to confine the feet of prisoners, especially on shipboard. Second definition: SWORD.







Did you know: First known use of bilbo as a type of shackle was in 1557, perhaps originating from Bilbao, Spain. The second definition of a type of sword likely also comes from Bilbao, Spain where the swords were crafted beginning in 1587. Bilbo is the name of the hero of J. R. R. Tolkien’s novel The Hobbit (1937). His real hobbit name is Bilba, which is of unknown meaning, but this was altered by Tolkien in order to use the more masculine O ending. In the novel, Bilbo Baggins is recruited by the wizard Gandalf to join the quest to retake Mount Erebor from the dragon Smaug.

Today’s word of the day is “askance,” which means “with disapproval or distrust” or “with a side-glance.”







Did you know: Askance, which etymologists believe may have been influenced by askew, comes from Middle English forms such as askaunce, meaning variously “in such a way that,” “as if,” “as if to say,” and “artificially” or “deceptively.” The word was first used in English in the 16th century with the meaning “sideways” or “with a sideways glance,” and writers over the years have used the suggestion of someone looking askance at something to express a number of feelings from disapproval and distrust to jealousy.
