Welcome to another mind-bending episode of Word Woman's Weekly Work-Out! Keep your brain in shape for the great campaign of life by learning new vocabulary. Now, let's get started with the Word of the Week:
Epirot: [ip-pye-rut] a person who lives inland, not on the coast. From a Greek word meaning 'mainland'. A word that those of us in "flyover country" can use with pride. -- "More Weird and Wonderful Words", Erin McKean, Ed., Oxford University Press, 2003.
Example: The political candidate who takes the nation's epirots into account in his or her campaigning efforts may very well find that the results are worth the investment.
