Word of the Day

antiquarian \an-tuh-KWAIR-ee-uhn\, noun/adjective:
1. Of or pertaining to objects or relics from the past.

Except to antiquarians and preservationists, silent cinema has little presence on the cultural radar screen, its landmark films unrented on video, its iconic images spotted only as fodder for video collage on MTV. --Thomas Doherty, Pre-Code Hollywood
