More Cool Old Words

Here are some more cool old words from the calendar M got for me:
  • Blash - to soak, to drench. A heavy rain. Deluging; sweeping away by inundation. Applied to meat or drink that is thin, weak, flatulent, or viewed as debilitating the stomach. To blash one's stomach, to drink too copiously of any weak and diluting liquor. (1808)
  • Conskite - To befoul with ordure, as when one's bowels are loosed with fear. (1955)
  • Chimble - to crumble into very small fragments; to gnaw like a mouse or rat. (1874)
  • Ure - A dampish mist; an atmospheric haze, especially of a colored nature; Scotland (1926). To pray (1200s). to have good fortune (1400s).
