words of the day:

spar

to box, esp. for practice

to bandy words about; wrangle

what kind of word is bandy? gosh, what year was that dictionary published?

bandy

to toss back and forth

to discuss or exchange in a casual or frivolous manner

that's a cool word, that's what it is. Sounds old, but it's just underused. And the dictionary was published in 1983. Not really that long ago.
