A Word a Day: DEFUNNYTIONS


GLADSTONE

Researchers have shocked the world with a new discovery. According to the Letsshockpeople Institute, stones have feelings too. In my dictionary the word gladstone is defined as a cheerful, happy stone.

  2. Caroline, as I've just found out, a "gladstone" is actually a kind of bag. The Oxford Dictionary says: "a bag like a briefcase having two equal compartments joined by a hinge". So I guess you would rather say "Have you seen my new Hermes gladstone?" :)
