Rustocate is one of
Jen's favourite words. It does have a lovely sound and, provided you aren't at univesity, has a most pleasant meaning too. It means to ive in the country and lead a rustic life; send to the country; give (stone) a rustic look; or have a countryfied appearance. "
I love that rusticated bench and is surroundings."
Unfortunately it also means to send down or suspend temporarily from college or university. "
He was rusticated for his bad behaviour."
I was sorting through some old video tapes on Sunday and came across a programme on Gordonstoun which kept on using the word rusticate and I did think about suggesting it to you for this site -- scary!
