Word of the Day: Ooft
'Ooft' is something like the past perfect tense of 'oof'. It can be used as an adjective describing a state of slight deflation, the sensation of being unable to quite wake up and get going after a New Year's Eve dinner. You get up in the morning, slightly disoriented, realising that you are stiff in the muscles and need to loosen up, but somehow lacking the power to do this loosening.
Young people are seldom ooft. But when you hit 40 and beyond, ooftiness is more frequent.

Sir, would you take post requests? Perhaps one about distinguishing between a Gryphon, a Wyvern and a Torchbearer? Some of my contemporaries have misidentified these creatures, sometimes with disastrous effects, and yet they are unable to pinpoint what threw them off when I ask them. Perhaps if you could give your own view about identifying such creatures it would serve some purpose?
