Johnson’s Dictionary as a mirror to life

One of the most famous dictionaries of English, A Dictionary of the English Language by Samuel Johnson, was brought to light in 1755. The dictionary contained 40 000 words and was renowned for the complexity of the lexicon. However, several of his definitions were interesting, to say the least.
Frustranation

Frustranation

Timelessness

Timelessness

Profane

Profane

The people are proudly wearing garments of shame. Amidst the chaos, we all agree that the victim is to blame.
