I’m currently reading The Duke and I and the author is constantly using the word “acerbic”. I had never heard of the word before now and had to google the definition. The word has shown up so much that I’m tempted to go through the book and count its appearances lol.

Have you noticed any authors having favorite words that they use page after page?

    Do women ever fold their arms under their breasts. I definitely cross mine over/on top, but I also have tight shoulders and am a member of the itty bitty titty committee.

    The mental image is definitely conjuring anime fanserivce rather than anything I’ve seen in real life.

      I was curious and actually sat up to try lol if I’m cold I’ll cross them over my chest but if I’m doing ‘the crossing of the arms’ then I’ll first cross them and then tuck them under my slightly above average bosom lmao
