Wordnik Word of the Day: Blowsabella

I thought as I received notable words from Wordnik's Word of the Day service, I'd post them here. If you like, sign-up for Wordnik's Word of the Day service yourself.

blowsabella

(noun) A woman whose hair is disheveled, and hanging about her face; a slattern.

(noun) A hot-tempered, unjustifiably angry woman, usually stereotyped as a red-haired Irish woman (used largely by Anglo-Saxons by due cause of nationalistic and racial tensions).

Hi there. When I'm not writing posts like this one I'm writing novels. Like fantasy adventure? Want to help keep my hungry dogs fed? Then why not pick up one of my novels? My dogs (and me) will be eternally grateful.

If you like, you can sign-up to receive an email when my next book comes out. For a limited time, you'll get a free eBook (EPUB or MOBI/Kindle) version of the 2nd edition of The Hall of the Wood, due out in June 2013, just for signing up.
