ambitious_wenchWord of the Day for Tuesday December 3, 2002
parlous \PAR-luhs\, adjective:
Attended with peril; fraught with danger; hazardous.
Why do I have this audio of a southern accent saying "Yup, them swamps are mighty parlous" in my head?
:::sigh:::
I don't dare use this word in New England.
"No," she said "I didn't say he was in the parlor."
Her voice took on a higher pitch of fear. "I said he IS parlous!"
