I’ve now settled nicely into the new space, so decided to introduce myself to the local traders, which is a type of earwigging, but I think I’m too polite to pester or importune. I’ve come across “earwig” as a verb to mean eavesdropping, but today’s meaning is: ‘To importune or pester, esp. in private. Also: to influence or bias (a person) secretly; to insinuate oneself into the confidence of (a person)’, (OED). I like it as a word and shall add it to my vocal list.
Day #117 of the second 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by the OED word of the day.
