Or you can get it free from the National Library of Canada if you know the website for that.
Boo yea!
I would love- LOVE!- to use this word every day for the rest of my life, but... How is it pronounced?
annee, as eveveyone konws i misspell everthing. chin up.
Clearly the modern pronunciation would have to be "cock queen."
Obscure words rule!
I'm frankly a little annoyed you didn't spell it "cookqueane" like old J. Heywood did.
Thank you for for bringing that word to my attention. I had been struggling for a word to describe the leading presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, but I knew there was something wrong with using cockold on her.
And thanks for the tip on the OED. I have this sick fantasy of owning a print copy to leaf through of a snowy evening.
You can get print copies at sales up in Canada - it's the required reference material for all government offices.
Damn, thanks for the OED link.
