- boot
- 012
Means "as well" but implies an unexpected extra, e.g. "I not only lost my job but they prosecuted me to boot!!", or "Not only did I get into the disco, free - but I won a "spot prize" to boot!"
(ed: this is an interesting expression that I've often used - does anyone have any clues where it originated and how?)
Notes
Serves me right for asking I suppose, but Steve Shervais passed on the following useful information:According to Clark Hall's Concise Anglo-Saxon Dictionary, "bot" is 'compensation for an injury', and "to bot" means "besides, moreover." In a related item, "manbot" was the money paid to the lord for loss of a man,_in_addition_to_ the wergeld paid to his relatives.
(ed: I like this job... you learn *such* a lot of useless information!)
