As in Boswell's Life of Johnson I suppose. Yes this is a clever bit of subjective succinctivity (one new word deserves another wouldn't you say?). A most amusing little piece that will mean something to those who have heard of Boswell and for that matter Johnson.

That's the one. Yes, although the meaning is obvious, I can honestly say I'd never heard of "succinctivity" before. The term is a bit self-contradictory, don't you think? Similar in vein to "abbreviation". Many thanks, PG.

I reckon you are right. I only made it up today when I came across boswellise. Lol.

Well, you got me on - boswellise. A new word for the day but I cannot see me using it much. Thank you for the definition to help me appreciate your fine 3 line poem contest entry. Great job on this romantic piece and good luck in the competition. ~DD

Thanks so much, DD. Like you, I don't envision dropping it into casual conversation all that often. Cheers, Craig
