Default Vocabulary terms you have learned from listening to Gord...

What are some words you all have learned from listening to G.L.?

Adieu- it means goodbye or farewell. I learned it from Broken Dreams. I'd never heard of the word before listening to this song, and even when I looked up the lyrics just to see how it was spelled, it still wasn't familiar. So I looked it up on dictionary.com and there it was.

Chaste- it means resisting the urge to have sexual relations with someone. I heard it from Forgive Me Lord. For a long time, I thought Gord was saying "chased". But I was browsing one day and happend upon the lyrics and noticed it said "chaste". Having never heard of this word either, I was about to go nag Char because I thought it was a typo (and that it was supposed to say "chased"). Then I decided I better look it up just to be on the safe side. Sure enough, HAD I not looked it up and went and poked fun at Char, she would have had reason to kick my butt. LOLOL

Navvy- according to dictionary.com, it means an 'unskilled manual laborer'. I think so Gord went and looked this up as well to add to the lyrics to CRT. I think a lot of people had never heard of this term before.

Rural Sprout - according to a certain corfiddler, it means 'a country boy'. But when I type this in at the dictionary website, nothing comes up... This must have been a term that Gord created himself...

I feel all scholarly like just typing this. Like I should've went to college or something...
