Save the words! Join the campaign!
This is serious. Christine, Adrian, and the English language, needs your help. The One Show hosts are backing a campaign to get two words saved from oblivion. Dictionary compilers say that the words Embrangle (meaning to confuse or entangle) and Oppugnant (meaning antagonistic or contrary) are no longer used enough to warrant a place in their dictionary.
So, Christine will be championing Oppugnant and Adrian will be attempting to popularise Embrangle. They'll be using them in their broadcasts - but they also need to show wider evidence of the popularity of their chosen words.
Please show your support by adding a comment below, which contains the words in an inventive manner. Please, also, send us links to uses of the word online - be it written, audio or video. Any evidence much appreciated!
Your efforts might get you a mention on The One Show. Thank you, and please add your name and location to comments so that we know who to credit.
