Welcome to another astounding episode of Word Woman's Weekly Work-Out! Don't send your brain on vacation for the summer -- keep it up to date by expanding your vocabulary! Here's the Word of the Week to get you started:

Purlicue: The space between your thumb and your forefinger. -- Reader's Digest (Large Print Edition), July 2009, Emily Cox and Henry Rathvon, P. 187.

Example: Andrea was less than impressed with the purlicue of space that the person behind her in line for the ATM gave her while she was making a withdrawal.
