Haberdasher : 1. a retail dealer in men's furnishings, as shirts, ties, gloves, socks, and hats.
2. A dealer in small articles for sewing, such as buttons, zips, and ribbons
WotD because I was at such a shop yesterday. Here in France it is called a mercerie, which led me to think of the word, haberdasher. If it is split in two, it gives haber dasher, which could be an interesting fictional creature or even a name for a character in a story.
Then I got to wondering about the origin of the word, and looked it up.
Word Origin and History for haberdasher
n.
early 14c., "seller of various small articles of trade" (late 13c. as a surname), agent noun from Anglo-French hapertas "small wares," also a kind of fabric, of unknown origin. Sense of "dealer in men's wares" is 1887 in American English, via intermediate sense of "seller of caps."
There's this place in Paisley, just a stone's throw away from me, called Helen's Haberdashery. I always loved the alliteration, and the feel of the word 'haberdashery'. It made me laugh, but also had this nostalgic feeling to it. I mentioned where the haberdasher is, because Paisley used to be one of the biggest makers of fabric. They even had streets named after what were made, like Silk Street.

I find myself bored,
by the constant hoard
of madness here,
so I'm drinking beer,
until I am floored.
This is not a true limerick as it doesn't have the rhythm of a limerick. It would be better placed in the Random Poem thread.

Why can't I do both? I like holding hands, I feel it can be far more intimate than lots of folks think. Kissing is fabulous. If I had to choose it would be kissing in the dark or anywhere. I believe kissing is how our spirits talk to each other.
Spanking or not spanking.

thanks for being brave enough to share. Quote by gypsy
Ah, that's unfortunate and annoying, what a waste of a good kilt, and of what should be yours by right.
How was your Burns evening?

I have an idea for a badge, but it would require a bit of co-operation. Guest Vocalist. You get it for doing audio for another member, but the person posting the story would have to say who it was who did the audio, so that that member could get the badge. Am I making sense? Dunno, I'm slightly imbibed
Makes perfect sense, and that is a good suggestion to make. You've done the audio for me on my Ephemeral series, and you should be credited with it. Two other people have done audio for me as well, so the same thing for them.
