This week’s obscure English word is gravid. It’s a somewhat archaic term meaning pregnant, sometimes used in the sense of ‘portentous’.
Your challenge: write a sentence or two in the comments using this word.

Now I have this vision of a particularly portentous piece of proper English roast beef with all the trimmings. We do actually get those out here in the colonies. Sometimes (the best stuff gets exported, of course).

You have Marmite and fish & chips, so I can believe you fully there.
