Word of the day

Mauger


prep. 1. In spite of; in opposition to; notwithstanding.

A man must needs love maugre his heed. - Chaucer.

This mauger all the world will I keep safe. - Shak.

So, mauger Darren not even knowing that the word mauger previously existed, he just scored 42 points with it on Lexulous.

Does that make sense?

PS

Apologies for referring to myself in the third person. Darren won't do it again.
