Word of the Day: gallimaufry

gallimaufry (n)

A hodgepodge, a jumble, or a confusing medley.

"Must your hot itch and plurisy of lust,
The heyday of your luxury, be fed
Up to a surfeit, and could none but I
Be picked out to be cloak to your close tricks,
Your belly-sports? Now I must be the dad
To all that gallimaufry that's stuffed
In thy corrupted bastard-bearing womb?
Why must I?"
--John Ford, 'Tis Pity She's a Whore

That might be a good name for this blog (gallimaufry, not "corrupted bastard-bearing womb").
