Thursday's word of the day:

Yestreen; The yestr- part of yestreen is a shortened form of yesterday, which comes from Old English. The -eenelement is the same as that in Halloween; it’s short for even, an archaic word for “evening.” Yestreenwas first recorded in English in the mid-14th century. EG: They were so tired yestreen that they collapsed in their beds shortly after sunset.
