Perilymph

I spotted today's word whilst looking up last week's. Perilymph is the liquid inside your ear which sloshes about and makes you dizzy if you spin round really fast. (Come on, I never actually said these posts wold be useful, did I?)

If you'd like to spin round fast without the sloshing part, take a look here.

If you'd like to read about me confessing to a couple of writing mistakes, have a look here.

  1. Damn! That's another word I can't use, because if I ever find a place for it in one of my novels, you'll know exactly where it came from!!

    1. If you avoid all the words I use, you'll have a very short novel, Paige!

  2. And the reason I can't do wild rides at an amusement park...

    1. I can't do them either, Alex - but that's just because I'm a wimp.

  3. Hi Patsy - it's certainly an interesting word ... and one where on occasions I'd definitely have to use! Great word ... cheers Hilary

  4. Probably will not find many times I use that word, although people likely think I am a bit dizzy at times.

    1. I'm sure the same has been thought about me, Neil.

  5. I almost got that way watching the monument. I guess I'll look for reprint publishers, maybe that will solve it or make it worse.

  6. I don't have to spin around too fast for my perilymph to slosh about. I now have sympathy for little old ladies who fall over.

    1. Dizzy spells are no fun, Maggie. Hope it doesn't happen too often.
