W.A.P.F.T.P. UPDATE
Since there are thousands of words still to be added, and they will take a long, long time to do, I have decided to concentrate on adding all the people words first - both as an alphabetical word list, and as a reverse word list.
You will find them in a new section called "Birkies, Lollygags, and Wallahs".
The reverse listing is "Reverse Birkies, Lollygags, and Wallahs".
At this point, I only have a few words added, but I will be constantly adding them. In the meantime, the Dictionary and Reverse Dictionary contain a number of people words.
Once completed, adjectives will be added. Followed by verbs, nouns, etc.
Also, since there are different devices on which to view the internet now, I have changed the look of the site so it's easily viewed on all devices. I hope! :)
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.... |
