Lolita on Word-A-Day list (fwd)
Date
Body
From: Larry Zirlin <LARRYZ@worldnet.att.net>
This mailing list's entry for March 23 is "Lolita", defined as
"a precociously seductive girl." The theme for words this week has been
"Incubus, and what else to avoid while shopping for shoes," which takes
off from the inappropriately named line of women's shoes which were
recently marketed until someone told the manufacturer what the word
actually meant.
