A new word to add to my ever-growing Czech vocabulary . . .
My colleague says I need to learn “useful” words, rather than “hromonice”, for example,
But somehow my mind latches onto these instead….
But the derivation of “funny bone” is more elaborate than I would have tho’t . ..
The latinate for the elbow is “humerus”, hence, funny bone,
The antics of those afflicted, not with standing . ..
