This week’s word of the week:
Barmy
Meaning foamy, or filled with foam. Also meaning eccentric, wacky, daft.
“Martha, have you noticed that the new student researcher we hired is completely barmy?”
“Quite. The green, pink and orange tartan kilt was a dead giveaway.”
“Barmy” is a good thing, right? Anyhow, be sure to use it often.

Posted by: briwei at May 9, 2005 1:17 PMYes - I actually did have such a dream.
