I’m guilty, it seems, of using “fossil words”. These are words deriving from older variations of the English language that have fallen out of common usage and have become largely obsolete, but which have nonetheless persisted in contemporary language. Fossil words occur in idioms or phrases where they have specific meanings, so their usage is restricted to that particular context. “Turpitude”, for instance, meaning depraved or wicked behaviour or character, is rarely employed in any other context than in the expression “moral turpitude”. “Turpitude” has essentially become fixed or fossilised alongside the term “moral”.

The creator of Japan’s hugely popular and influential ‘Dragon Ball’ comics and anime cartoons, Akira Toriyama, has died aged 68, his production team said Friday. First serialised in 1984, ‘Dragon Ball’ is one of the best-selling manga franchises of all time and has spawned countless anime series, films and video games.

Being a partner and being a parent are probably two of the most fundamental jobs that we have in life. Ironically, we have no formal education or training on how to do either of them.

But what’s to guarantee that those relationship models were the healthiest? That’s where Charlotte Spurway, a British psychologist who has an established online…
