Words of the Day

Here are a few, some new to me, some not:

1.	a private conversation or interview, usually between two people.

sotto voce : I kept coming across this one while reading scripts. Had to look it up. PRN: sawt-taw vaw-che.
–noun in a low, soft voice so as not to be overheard.

sou marqué : This one is new to me. PRN: soo-mar-key

1.	a billon coin of France, issued in the 18th century for circulation in the colonies.

2.	something that has little or no value.
