I only have one new word this week, and I think it’s a funny one. Have you heard of it?
mammy chair
(n)
Definition—a slinglike device for raising or lowering passengers to and from ships anchored away from the shore in a heavy swell
Use—“He put them in a mammy chair that swung them over the side of the ship.”

That's a new one on me! Somehow I don't think I'd like being in a mammy chair at all. Thanks for participating!
Haven't heard of mammy chair until just now. The only new words I have for this week are from my toddler and I don't think some of them are actual words! LOL
That's new to me too. Thanks for the visual definition.
Huh, I don't think I've heard of that one before.
Very interesting! I guess the only time I've viewed or read about people evacuating a ship they used row boats. Thanks for teachinig us something new today!
I forget: did I mention this one already? My brain blurs things at times. Include lachrymatory on your list someday
