prettygoodwordopentyde - n., the period between Epiphany and Ash Wednesday.
I said I wouldn't use much from Forgotten English, but this one is too interesting to pass up. Opentyde was one of the three seasons for getting married in traditional England -- presumably because there was no religious reason to avoid them, such as the peri-Easter observances.
The calendar tells me that today is the feast day of St. Paula the Bearded.
