Transcript of “It’s All in a Dezzick”

That 1875 dictionary of the Sussex dialect that I mentioned earlier has so many great entries.

Here’s another one, DESZC, D-E-Z-Z-I-C-K. It means a day’s work. So the illustrative sentence they have in this dictionary is, I ain’t done a DESZC for the last six months.

Oh, that’s a wonderful word.

Too bad it’s not allowed in Scrabble.

The double Z, man.

Right?

That’s a winner.

That would be.
