W back again. I was reading a book about the history of the English language, which while it doesn't sound exciting the author was really good and made the book pretty funny. In the course of the book the author talks about how words come and go in the language some stick others fade away. One of the words he mentions that faded away is "ugsome" which means frightful or loathsome. I think this is a great word, if you had now idea what the word meant and I said "That was ugsome" you would know exactly what I was talking about. The word just sounds like it should mean loathsome.
I am now going to start using ugsome in everyday speech. I want a resurgence of this word in our language. Join me in bringing back this perfectly good word to modern English. The next time you're describing something frightful or loathsome give ugsome a try.
Like "Some of W's ideas are truly ugsome."
See how easy it is.

Ugsome dude! Oh wait, that's the wrong usage.
I got it. Some of my jokes are ugsome. That's better.
We should also save "fusby", "embrangle" and "olid".They are not really ugsome words.
