Do you mean Susie Dent. Foreswunk I've not heard of.

My word is "foreswunk" from the 13C word "forswunk" meaning "exhausted before you even begin" (according to Susi Dench).

I have been foreswunk since 1989 smile

Yes, me too and immediately felt guilty as that's what I should be doing instead of faffing around on here.

I think I'll choose Faffing as my word of the year as I seem to have lost my Mojo (another apt word pro tem).

I had to look that up. I thought it was a make of vacuum cleaner.

The OED has chosen VAX (noun and verb) as the word of the year.
I am trying to decide what my word of the year would be and am at a loss. What about you?
