Word of the day/week/year (depends how long til the next one comes along):-Tundish.

The laguage of the little known Tund peoples of Inner Mania ;-) but seriously...

tundish. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000.

A word I didn't know until today. How useful it will be I don't know...

''just hold still Sir, while I fetch my tundish!''

''New tundishes for old...new tundishes for old...''

BTW, word of the decade is 'patress' - I know what it means (a sticky on-y sort thing, like what goes between a light switch and a wall, or the curve of an aircraft fuselage skin and the flat base of an aerial) but no official/dictionary definition found as yet Google search for same
