Have you noticed, most of the words are following a 'theme' !!

And sticking with that theme, I always had a soft spot for trosk. Lovely word, even if I've been called it more than once.

I read an article once that said it was originally a word for a daft female, but as a teenage male in the 70s it was practically my middle name.
