[lit-ideas] Re: Exercise (sidenote)

I was reading Daniel Defoe's Journal of the Plague Year (or is that A plague year?). He uses the word 'disappointment' to mean the ditching of an appointment. Silly me never made this connection. On top of that, it's only some years hence that I connected 'discard' with what you do with cards you don't want in card games. There must be many stories of this kind out there. Let's hear them.
