Playing on freerice is very entertaining, cause sometimes it brings along words of whose existence you could have never dreamed of...
One example I just came accross is the world 'nosegay'.. Never heard of it and sounds rather strange to me...
Could you have guessed that in fact it is not at all related to anything illegal or indecent but just means 'bouquet', so literally refers to something that pleases ones nose? (Taken the original meaning of 'gay' this seems actually quite reasonable.. but as language goes, the semantics shift around a bit, causing the odd confusion ;)
