Word to the Wise: Coign

By ETR

A "coign" (COIN or KWOIN) is, architecturally speaking, a projecting corner used for observation.

Example (as Shakespeare used it in Macbeth): "Smells wooingly here: no jutty, frieze, / Buttress, nor coign of vantage, but this bird / Hath made his pendant bed and procreant cradle: / Where they most breed and haunt, I have observed, / The air is delicate."

[Ed. Note: Become a more persuasive writer and speaker ... build your self-confidence and intellect ... increase your attractiveness to others ... just by spending 10 VERY enjoyable minutes a day with ETR's new Words to the Wise CD Library.]
