stonepicnicking_okapiI haven't don't one of these since April, but I've come across some new-to-me words.
Wednesday's word is...
...banjax.
1. ruin, incapacitate, or break.
I found this new-to-me word in the Inspector Rebus I just finished (Saints of the Shadow Bible).
"...Reckons we banjaxed the Saunders case to keep a good snitch on the street."
I would also like to add this saying (also new-to-me) from the same which is very Rebus.
Fair exchange is no robbery
That is definitely going to be the title of my next hard-boiled detective fic. It's great.
