It's Still Life

4 February: Word of the Day – Lickspigot

AI artwork: cartoon drawing of scruffy man with a glass of wine in hand. He's chatting up a woman.

Word of the day: Lickspigot. A person who always turns up when free drink is available. (16th century English). I think this is a word due for resurrection.

      No, I can’t read minds yet, but I’m working on it.

        On second thought, you might want to reconsider 🤔
