A word I’d never heard before. Had to look it up. We don’t have pigeons in my town, but we have doves which sound pretty much the same.

As I write this I have a pigeon staring through the window at me! I actually had a pigeon nest on my balcony a few months ago too!

Nor me until today – thank godness for Google! It’s also a clumsy and rather ugly word. I won’t be making a comeback here!

Well, based on the meaning, i’d say, in British slang, the answer about Sally is very close!

Excellent take, Keith. Sammi outdid herself this week. I always look up the word, trying to find some interesting way to use it. I think it’s pretty indicative when you Google: use peristeronic in a sentence and they give you but one!!

Sammi certainly tested us this week! I always research words whether I know them or not, hoping to find a route less obvious!
