I’m currently reading The Duke and I and the author is constantly using the word “acerbic”. I had never heard of the word before now and had to google the definition. The word has shown up so much that I’m tempted to go through the book and count its appearances lol.
Have you noticed any authors having favorite words that they use page after page?
For me the most annoying one is “bobbing his throat”. Why are we constantly noticing handsome men ‘bobbing’ their throats?? Though I have to admit calloused hands turning into claws or talons are a close second.
How do you bob your throat? I’ve heard of bobbing your head but does throat just mean moving a man’s Adam’s apple?
That’s my guess as well
