Word of the day
Askance.
1 : with a side-glance : obliquely
2 : with disapproval or distrust : scornfully
I've always loved this word. I don't think I've ever had a chance to use it. Too bad.
I keep trying to figure out where my obsession with words comes from. I never liked reading books 'til one day I read something in school (or from the library) and suddenly entire worlds were opened to me that I never imagined.
I looked askance at the man. Not even realizing I was blind.

Great line the last sentence is.
English major here, and i never even heard that word. I love it.
i can think of a few people who probably thought more than once that you were looking askance at them... ;-)
