Spotted this today:-
In recreational linguistics, a ‘charitable word’ is one that can give up any letter and still remain a meaningful word: SEAT — SEA. A ‘stingy word’ is one that doesn’t allow that, e.g. IMPETUOUS or PRY.
Can anyone make a sentence comprising all ""Charitable" words or all "Stingy" words?
Just a little something to do while you ponder what to do with the leftover turkey (not a clue).
