WORD OFF!

interlard: /in-ter-lahrd/

1. to diversify by adding or interjecting something unique, striking, or contrasting (usually fol. by with): to interlard one's speech with oaths.
2. (of things) to be intermixed in.
3. obsolete. to mix, as fat with lean meat.


vs.

inkling: /iŋ-kliŋ/

1 : a slight indication or suggestion
2 : a slight knowledge or vague notion


last week's word winner:

hugger-mugger

this just further proves that there's no accounting for taste.
