according to www.dictionary.com - a very useful and exciting
website - the word of the day is:

lineament \LIN-ee-uh-muhnt\, noun:
1. One of the outlines, exterior features, or distinctive
marks of a body or figure, particularly of the face.
2. A distinguishing or characteristic feature; -- usually in
the plural.

If she saw herself, even in her memory, she did not see the
brightness that had been hers as a wife; she saw the lined
and ageing woman she had become, as if these lineaments had
been waiting to emerge since her features had first been
formed.
--Anita Brookner, Visitors

I had a bit of head-to-head with my partner this
morning...over my useage of the term "Cod-psycology"...

She thought it was a term I made up...so we ended up going
online and checking thru the OED (it was number 6 of 7
different nouns of Cod..)...

...she wasn't that convinced tho...(but I was secretly
chuffed :)...
