bonky & earwitness

[Lynne Murphy]

Two (new?) words for the day:

This week's 'The K Chronicles' comic concerns the word 'bonky' -- a
take-off on 'wigger'.  You can see it at:

And this week's (I guess it's last week's now--8 July) issue of _New
Scientist_ reports that the Avweb aviation newsletter has used the word
'earwitness'.  Read all about it at:

All worded out,
Lynne
