Rebutter

Rebutter, surprisingly isn't something you do to bread when you consider it's not been spread with a liberal enough amount of dairy goodness. 

It's actually a refutation (a word which probably deserves its own WWof theW post) or 'a defendent's reply to the plaintiff's surrejoinder'.



Sometimes I'm no help at all, am I?

I was halfway through the clicking process to read this before it clicked what the word really meant. Just goes to show the power of a picture, doesn't it?

I've come across this word in crime novels with court case scenes.

Excellent - that's sort of proof I'm not just making this stuff up.

You're in the perfect place for that!

It does, Liz.

I can see it would be useful there.
