Word of the Day

I feel really clever knowing where this word derived from... Wooo Shakespeare lovers.

Today's Word:

Puckish

Mischievous, impish

Sentence example: Horrid Henry was behaving awfully puckishly in his English lesson, much to the displeasure of his keen classmates named Jess and Talia.

And for those of you who have read and seen A Midsummer's Night's Dream countless times, you will know it is derived from the name of Puck - Oberon's little helper. Yes. I love Shakespeare. Over and out.

By Jess
