Today’s word was “blimp”: ‘The type of person with old-fashioned or reactionary opinions and a pompous and peremptory manner, embodied in the character of Colonel Blimp (see etymology) and considered representative of a distinct or dominant group in British politics and society. Freq. attrib. designating a person or class of people reminiscent of Colonel Blimp’, (OED). I could have had a field day with this, but decided to play safe. Today’s pic therefore has very little to do with blimp, but does involve a Colonel of the finger-lickin’ variety – and it did give me another street for Bleeding London.
Day #269 of a 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by the OED word of the day.
