My new bookish meme for 2026: the Golden Age of Detection (GAD*) Mystery Word of the Day. Whenever I find a word that I'm unfamiliar with--or shall we say not absolutely confident I know the exact meaning of, I'm going to actually take time to look it up and share it with mystery-lovers everywhere. 😊
Today's GAD Mystery Word of the Day: Lumper (noun; British slang) A casual laborer or dockworker employed to load and unload cargo ships and timber vessels.Originated around the late 18th C.
(from When the Wolves Are Silent by C. S. Harris)
