Oct 22 18:35 UTC 2004 |
rassle 1 (prp) mosaic 1 (aruba) foully 3 (blaise) foully is just the adverb form of foul. I object to rassle, as it's nothing more than an illiterate's corruption of wrestle. Whatever...
| response 817 of 1012: |
Oct 22 20:11 UTC 2004 |
It's in the OED as rassle rassle, obs. form of wrastle wrestle v.
| response 818 of 1012: |
Oct 23 02:33 UTC 2004 |
I was sure it was, somewhere. Doesn't mean I can't object! :-)
| response 819 of 1012: |
Oct 23 04:07 UTC 2004 |
Yes, but the ground of your objection is invalid. It is not "an illiterate's corruption of wrestle" but rather an older form of the word. At least, so Rane's citation indicates. You can still object to it, of course. :)
