A grand day for new words (new to me, that is) all garnered in the last 24 hours.
Kizomba. A variant of the tango developed in Angola. A local pub is offering lessons in it.
Lusophone. Portuguese speaking peoples (like the Angolans).
Disaronno. 'An Italian liqueur flavoured with herbs and fruit soaked in apricot kernel oil'. On sale locally.
Percale. 'A closely woven cotton fabric. From the Persian, pargãlah.'
Not a bad haul.
