Word of the Day: ejulation

ejulation (n)

A wailing; lamentation.

"'Eleven years of solitary confinement!' is the ejulation of Mr. Dickens, forgetting the crime for which the man was imprisoned!"
--Joseph Adshead, Prisons and Prisoners

I can't remember the last time I had an ejulation -- probably when I stubbed my toe or bit my tongue, or something. (I tend to cry on the inside.)

I won't include a link to Google images for this one; a lot of the resulting pix are pornographic (if "safe search" is off). I'm not sure why. Apparently, some people think this word means something other than it does. What, I can't imagine.
