W.A.P.F.T.P. UPDATE
August 12, 2020
It's been a while since I've updated here. Other than what the whole world has experienced with COVID-19, 2020 has been quite the year!! I won't bore you with any details, but one thing that happened really affected the updating of WAPFTP.
I lost a lot of my work due to computer and Internet problems, and I was so frustrated I gave up for a bit! Sorry! But I'm back at it now.
I still have thousands of words to add, but at this point I have no idea which ones I have already added, and which still need to be added. But I'll plod on, and get there!
I am now only adding to the WAPFTP Reverse Dictionary, since that is the one thing I really, really want to get done. I believe it is unique in that it features a lot of words you won't find in a modern dictionary, including dialect words, and a ton of slang words.
Also, I am re-formatting as I go, so it may look a wee bit messy here and there for a bit. Please bear with me as I do it all!
Thank you!
Enjoy your day! And Words and Phrases from the Past!

Words and Phrases from the Past!
Words and Phrases from the Past is an ongoing project.
Words and phrases are constantly being added, as well as being edited (extra definitions, date changes, etc., including [muttered in a very quiet voice], correcting of errors!). So if a word isn't currently here, it could quite possibly get added this very day, or tomorrow, or sometime soon! Keep checking back! Looking for a word? Try the alphabetical WAPFTP Dictionary tab on the left, or the search box to the right. The WAPFTP Reverse Dictionary (Thesaurus with definitions!) is a great way to find words by their definition. Complete definitions are given so you can find the right word you're looking for. E.G. Looking for a word for a clumsy person? Under WAPFTP Reverse Dictionary, click on "Reverse Dictionary C INDEX". From there click on the word grouping where you would find 'clumsy'. You can also locate the word groupings in a pop-up when hovering over "Reverse Dictionary C INDEX". Under 'clumsy person' you will find a listing like this: CLUMSY PERSON • BOZO a clumsy, clownish, or foolish fellow; an oaf; a rude or annoying person ...1916 Amer. sl. • BUMBLE-KITE one whose clumsiness is productive of mischief ...19C Eng. dial. • CACK-HAND a clumsy, awkward person ...2000s sl. • CLUSTERFIST a clumsy-fisted fellow; a clown, boor, lout ...1611 obs. • DOPPER a clumsy person ...Bk1913-17 Amer. dial. Etc., etc.... |
