Word of the Day

Another word from me this day, this one comes to you all the way from Texas:

spur - to give heart or courage, to spur, to prod or goad with a pointed stick or especially with spurs, as found on some cowboy boots

and since I've got some catching up to do, I don't believe this came from India:

spurn - a narrow sand spit on the tip of the coast of Yorkshire, England that reaches into the North Sea and forms the north bank of the mouth of the Humber estuary
