craquelure:
you'll find this on a Rambrandt masterpiece
old yellow'd varnish
Van Rijn loved impasto - but it crack'd over time
skedaddle:
something Speedy Gonzales does
fastest mouse in all Me-hi-co!
mazzanine:
architecture wouldn't be architecture without these intermediate divisions between the ground and first floor
mazzanines extend an open-plan space upwards
only the storeys of a building limit their range
massif (mass-seef):
a giant finger would easily cut itself on one of these
they're razor-sharp but can have beautiful names - Pyrenees!
toodle-pip:
a cheery alternative to cheerio
part of pastoral lore
only eccentrics would say this nowadays
why not reclaim it and make it cool
verdigris:
aged bronze would lose its appeal if it wasn't covered in verdigris
edelweiss:
the white flower of an alpine herb
agent provocateur:
the criminal underworld hates these kind of people
azh-on-prov-at-tur
i prefer its sound to its betraying cause
