New word for the New Year

[kate_schaefer]

My favorite recently-encountered word in English: wlonk.

You can look it up. I did. You probably can't pronounce it, though. I sure can't.

Happy New Year. No resolutions here.

LOL! What a wlonk word! ;) Reminds me of our pidgin pronunciation of Chaucer at school.

Happy New Year.

Yeah, it's kinda like that. The last citation the OED gave for it was in Morte d'Arthur (I think), so it hasn't exactly been popular during recent centuries.

Happy New Year to you. May you have joys to balance the difficulties you encounter.
