In which we embiggen our lexicon

In which we embiggen our lexicon

Today's new word.

Flebly: adv. from the root "fleb."

If something is done "flebly," it is done simultaneously and intentionally weakly, limply and in a weak-willed manner.

Now we use it in a sentence:

Festus shook my hand flebly. I took this as an insult to my Lithuanian heritage, so I poked him in the eye with my fist, seven or eight times. Bond has been set at $8,000. Would you and Dad come bail me out?
