Word of the month

Fat santa

The meaning of the word farctate

A special Christmas-flavoured word of the month this time.

FARCTATE – The state of being stuffed with food (overeating)

So enjoy your festive break, but don’t become too farctated.

Adopt a word

Just an excuse for a photo of Stephen Fry...

Looking for an unusual Christmas gift? Or just fancy a bit of festive do-gooding? Then take a look at www.adoptaword.com, a fantastic initiative from children’s charity I CAN.

You can adopt a word for a year for £15, and every penny that’s raised goes towards I CAN’s work helping children with communication difficulties.

Very appropriately, Stephen Fry adopted the word ‘Wordy’. We chose ‘crumpet’, which we eat a lot of here at Wordsworks Towers. What word will you pick?
