Word of the day

So I don't know if I'm massively behind the times on this but I signed up to dictionary.com's word of the day mailing list last week and have already had some gems. 'Beek' for instance:

1. To bask or warm in the sunshine or before a fire.
2. (Of wood) to season by exposure to heat.

Or 'couchant':

1. Lying down; crouching; reclining.
2. Heraldry . (Of an animal) represented as lying on its stomach with its hind legs and forelegs pointed forward.

So for what it's worth i reckon it's worth signing up. it's more environmentally friendly than bog roll for one!
