I know this word but had forgotten it until I saw your post. It's not one used very often. I'll slake my thirst with a glass of chardonnay. Cheers!

@thebeaddreamer i had never heard the word "slake" until finding it online. another word to add to my personal vocab. enjoy your chardonnay, i hope it slakes your palette.
@steinar thanks for the follow. i will be sure to return the favor. i'm glad you enjoyed my blog.
Unusual word - I like it. Wish we could bring back a richer vocabulary. Somehow I feel we have dummied it down and of course now its all abbreviated stuff for texting that is actually making it into our speech. Don't get me goin.............
