ventaOn my desk at work, I have a calendar of Lost Language. Technically, for long and boring reasons, it's a 2011 calendar, which means I'm in danger of thinking today is Tuesday.
Every so often, the word of the day turns out to be a word I use all the time. Well, fair enough, I have a somewhat rapacious and eclectic approach to words. Gems from this week include "ruriculous", "gloppened" and "sevous" (none of which I knew).
Today's word (which is actually a phrase):
To be in a huff: to have a fit of petulance or offended dignity.
Is there any meaningful sense in which that particular bit of language is lost?
