yepsen - n., the amount that can be held in two hands cupped together.


I really want to know the etymology of that one.

Wow--that's the surname of the guy who wrote my book on apples, Roger Yepsen. Cool.

A wonderful word indeed. Now I, too, want to find the etymology. Sadly (but not surprisingly), it's not in my Oxford Concise English Dictionary... but google showed me this page from yourdictionary.com, where I learned a synonym!
