Word Of The Day: Blag

Not blog. Blag, with an 'a'. It's a word one came across in the headline to a review of a new book by John Mortimer. So one looked it up, and no, it has nothing to do with blogs or blogging -- not yet, anyway.

It's British slang for robbery or theft, often a con or scam.

Hmmm....so could a plagiarist's blog be called a blag?

Forgive me. Idle ruminations on an idle morning.
