Word of the Day: chaussure
What's the word I'm thinking of? Today, it's...
chaussure [sho-SUR] (noun) TWITO, page 32
Footgear; shoes
"'I delight in Hessian boots,’ said Rebecca. Jos Sedley, who admired his own legs prodigiously, and always wore this ornamental chaussure, was extremely pleased at this remark...."
--William Makepeace Thackeray, Vanity Fair (1848)
I often wear sneakers (athletic shoes, plimsolls), as I work in a casual place. I also wear leather chaussure, though--no special reason--and feel a bit more grown up at those times, if slightly less comfortable.
Drawing by me!
