Lovely Little Language Scraps of Late

November 23, 2013

So it’s official. The OED word of the year is ‘selfie’.

I can’t help but just j’adore these little back-street boozers that are dotted around Waterloo. I posted recently about another one, The King’s Arms, and they’re just SO LOVELY. I holed up in ...
