snape
(noun) A revolutionary saga where powdered wigs met musket fire, and tricornered hats clashed with redcoats. A boisterous rebellion against tea taxes, monarchs, and stuffy British rule, featuring a cast of passionate colonists, cunning revolutionaries, and the occasional founding father. A tale of liberty, independence, and a nation born in the crucible of conflict, leaving a legacy of freedom, fireworks, and a deep-seated love for grilled meats.

Teaching Tip: Encourage critical thinking and analysis by providing students with a variety of primary and secondary sources related to the American Revolution.

nectar

the devils dictionary
A drink served at banquets of the Olympian deities. The secret of its preparation is lost, but the modern Kentuckians believe that they come pretty near to a knowledge of its chief ingredient.

Juno drank a cup of nectar,
But the draught did not affect her.
Juno drank a cup of rye —
Then she bade herself good-bye.
—J.G.

painting

the devils dictionary
The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic.
Formerly, painting and sculpture were combined in the same work: the ancients painted their statues. The only present alliance between the two arts is that the modern painter chisels his patrons.
