DEADLURK? Great word.
I don’t know what it means but I know exactly what it means.
can’t wait for the infamous Page 13. Am really enjoying this.
A little research lead me to believe this was a Victorian Era word meaning “empty premises”. A cousin to deadend perhaps?
“Sepulchral balls!” may be the greatest exclamation I’ve heard in a long time.
Thank you. And I’m glad your enjoying the story. I found a lot of great slang browsing the 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue 🙂
So _that’s_ where you found DEADLURK. Neat word, btw.
