A companion to Jeffrey Kacirk's popular book Forgotten English, this calendar features 365 days of delightfully archaic words and their definitions. From January 1's "stangster" ("a husband with marital problems because he either mistreats his wife or is henpecked by her") to December 31's "resurrectionist" (a grave robber paid by anatomy students to steal illegal cadavers), these are words you'll have trouble not using. As a bonus, Kacirk marks the most obscure holidays and saints' days in the calendar (such as that honoring St. Bibiana, the patron saint of hangover sufferers).
