"Word Perfect offers a word, phrase, or etymology for every day of the year. Many are attached to specific events – the first reading of the Riot Act, for example, or the theatrical brouhaha from the eighteenth century where one production company stole a sound-effect machine from another, giving us the phrase ‘stealing someone’s thunder’. Others simply chime with the time of year: what better word for dark wintry mornings than ‘hurkle-durkling’, old Scots dialect for lounging around long after it’s time to get moving? I’d love to see whether you can match some of my favourite words to their perfect meaning."
