The Wednesday Word - frowzy

Best Blogger Tips

Wednesday 22 April 2009

Today's Wednesday word is 'frowzy'. It means dirty or stuffy or smelly or musty. Here is a proper quote for it from Charles Dicken's Oliver Twist:

"The cold wet shelterless midnight streets of London; the foul and frowsy dens, where vice is closely packed and lacks the room to turn; the haunts of hunger and disease; the shabby rags that scarcely hold together; where are the attractions of these things?"

Here is my quote for it:

"Hers was the frowziest room of the lot, complete with a frowzy desk, a frowzy bed and frowzy clothes strewn all over the frowzy floor."
