The Daily Word for May 28, 2021

 

howff - noun - a favorite meeting place; pub or bar


Here's another Scottish term that you may just wish to adopt: howff. It doesn't look legit, but I suppose it flies in Scotland and maybe even the rest of the U.K. Since people are beginning to shed fear and creep back into their favorite joints (as we might call a howff in the U.S.), it may just be relevant, especially this Memorial Day Weekend as it is the unofficial kick-off to summer. Howff might just be easy to remember. Imagine walking into Keybar, seeing a bumper-to-bumper crowd and muttering to yourself, How the f** am I supposed to find my friends in this mess?  The formula to remembering the word is  

                                             How + the f bomb + "friends" = howff

The revised question would be: How the f** am I supposed to my friends in this howff?

Memorize the formula. There'll be a quiz next week. (Only kidding.)

Enjoy the long weekend!
