Buor


I have Googled this word and can find no match for it anywhere in ANY dictionary, English or otherwise.

In short, this word does not exist in normal speech. I will concede, though, that it may exist as a slang or dialect word, but I have my doubts.




Here is a word that IS an archaic term:

swoopstake: indiscriminately or in an indiscriminate manner

I still can find no reference - and I have consulted OED online, and all the other major dictionary sites as well as several lexicography sites. Not one of them have this odd word listed.

Your gamidolatry DOES exist: it means 'worship of marriage' apparently...
