You don't want a word to capture the wonderfulness of lazing around on Sunday morning? _What kind of monster are you?_
"The difference between the right word and the nearly right word is the same as the difference between lightning and the lighting bug." —Mark Twain
- klenwell 9y agoWhat find of monster? A frumious frowster who, while he certainly appreciates the rightness of such a term, would argue that it's already lost. I've certainly never seen the word used before and fully never expect to hear it again. On the other hand, I do come across the French expression, "la grasse matinée"[0], (even in an English context) every once in a while and would expect to hear "I enjoyed a nice fat morning in bed" before I ever hear something like "I had a grand old frowst". Now then, back to my regularly-scheduled frowst. [0] https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:French_idioms#F https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:French_idioms#F
