It's back to a week of Words My True Love Gave Me, starting with:


lour - v., to look sullen, angry, or threatening; to appear dark or threatening, as the sky.


Also, as a noun, a sullen, angry, threatening, or dark look. Variant of the more common but more confusing spelling lower, from Middle English louren, from either an Old English word or its Middle German or Middle Dutch cognates luren or loeren, to lie in wait.

I don't know--I only hear him *say* it.

Clearly, you need to get him to install the surtitles plug-in.
