I hope this is in keeping with #weirdwords. Occasionally, I enjoy dipping into the tagged book. Thinking about what word to pick for today sent me back to it. (I know this is out of left field a bit, but it‘s where my mind is today). A lot of the language is dated or problematic but there are a lot of gems. Here‘s the entry for Dentist:
“A prestidigitator who, putting metal into your mouth, pulls coins out of your pocket.”
