Dear Indya,

No jing-bangs..no jokes, no antics..just a few thoughts..a few opinions..

Saurav Ganguly probably has no inkling as to what 'onychophagia' means. If he subscribed to A.Word.A.Day, (A.W.A.D) he would know it stands for his habit of biting nails.

A selection of words featured in A.W.A.D that will make you a surefire success at scrabble!
