It& #39;s interesting how the meanings of words change over time. For example, the mot du jour is & #39;ramp& #39;. We have several older printed dictionaries at home, shall we see what they say the word means? 1/5
The New Penguin English Dictionary gives it as: Brit, informal - to inflate a price artificially and fraudulently 2/5
Nuttalls Standard Dictionary, on the other hand, has it thus: an attempt to obtain money under false pretences. 3/5
Whereas the New English Dictionary gives this meaning: To dash about, to rage, to storm. 4/5
Last but not least, my personal favourite. The Concise Oxford Dictionary: Swindle, racket, esp. conducted by levying of exhorbitant prices. 5/5
Interesting, no?
