Hiate

[HonaloochieB]

You sure abouit that one, Ian?

[ianr]

SOED (1964): Hiate v.rare intr. To gape; to cause a hiatus.

[HonaloochieB]

Fair enough Ian, I just use an on-line dic at work, but if the SOED says it's kosher...

I don't think hiate is a real word either; no online evidence for it anyway. Please can we stick to real English words? Quite enough to choose from.

I bet some poor person will see it on the forum and try to impress their wife/friends/colleagues by weaving it subtly into the conversation. Oh dear. Expect they'll hiate in horror.
