Word of the Day: KILLBUCK

ETYMOLOGY
from kill (vb.) + buck (the male of several animals)

EXAMPLE
“…Tharsalio.  Out, you young hedge-sparrow; learn to tread
afore you be fledge!
[He kicks her out.]
Well, have you done now, lady?

Arsace..  O, my sweet kilbuck!

Tharsalio.  You now, in your shallow pate, think this a
disgrace to me; such a disgrace as is a battered helmet
on a soldier’s head; it doubles his resolution. Say, shall
I use thee?

Arsace.  Use me?…”
