need a little sun?


Now that summer has arrived, here’s a handy word of the day:

Insolation. Noun. Exposure to the rays of the sun. A useful substitute for sunbathing.

Usage: “I’ll be taking a long lunch-hour today, Mr. Fernbred, if that’s all right with you—I’m overdue for my insolation treatment.”

- From: “The Superior Person’s Book of Words” by Peter Bowler.
