Word of the Day – Noisome

Noisome (adj)

noy-sum

Having an extremely offensive smell: Very disagreeable or unpleasant.

Taken from the from the obsolete word noy (shortened form of annoy)+ -some. This is a word I use regularly and it is always succeeded by the word Oik, I love it, it’s one of my favourite insults.
