limn

From Word of the Day:

limn \LIM\, transitive verb:
1. To depict by drawing or painting.
2. To portray in words; to describe.


I don't think I've ever read this word nor seen it used in print.

I've heard something like it, though, here in the Texas Panhandle.

"Ah lak mah catfish wi' a liddle bida lim'n squeez't awnitt. "

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. But, I'll still give you a dirty look when you call me that.
