faradBeating Dail to the punch with this! Today's Daily Writing Tips has "75 Words for Cheat, Fraud, Trickery . . . " and of course, I thought of Ezra:
"Human beings have developed cheating, fraud, and trickery into such a high art (or, more accurately, a low one) that, in English at least, we’ve created an extensive and colorful vocabulary to describe such activity. Here is an exhaustive but incomplete list of synonyms in noun and/or verb form for cheat, fraud, and trickery.
( I can hear Buck say 'bamboozle' )
But I can hear Ezra say 'thimblerig' - with masterful eloquence, as he does it.
So - writing?? I am getting some OC stuff written which I consider related to Mag 7 as it is western and it is somewhat close to the boys. *g* Anyone else??
