Words I had to look up this week ....

numinous ... things that are numinous seem holy, spiritual and mysterious

foustie ... disgusting/putrid/over-ripe/mouldy  scottish dialect (north east), but has found a way into wider british english

dreitch ... bleak, miserable, dismal, cheerless, dreary 

smirr ...  a mist-like precipitation, Scottish ... a soft rain that coats everything

quotidian ... daily, occuring every day, ordinary, mundane
