Four New-Old Words.

It's been awhile since my last Forgotten English word post, so the good words have kind of piled up. Thus, I present to you four new-old words that we should bring back.

Pinchery :
A state of extreme carefulness approaching miserliness.
-Rev. M. C. F. Morris' Yorkshire Folk-Talk, 1892

A State of want or deficiency; poverty. Cumberland.
-Joseph Wright's English Dialect Dictionary, 1896 - 1905

Spurticles :
Spectacles
-R. Pearse Chope's The Dialect of Hartland, Devonshire, 1891

*I thought it was adorable when College-Ted exclaimed "My spectacles!" Imagine how much more hilarious it would have been had he said "My Spurticles!" hahahaha.

Kintra-cooser :
A human stallion; a fellow who debauches many country girls.
-John Mactaggart's Scottish Gallovidian Encyclopedia, 1824

From kintra, country, and cooser, a stallion.
-John Jamieson's Etymological Dictionary of the Scottish Language, 1879 revision.

* Future romance novelists take note of this word. In fact, I think you should write a Highlander novel (they are very popular after all), just so you can use this word.

And my favorite word thus far this year! Thorough Cough :
Coughing and breaking wind backwards at the same time.
-Francis Grose's Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, 1796

*Ah! The mythical cough-fart! I am heartened to know that it's legend has existed throughout the ages. Also, how hilarious is it that the guy who wrote Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue had the last name Grose. I love it.

Now - go forth and use these words at your will. Expect me to.
