with a different first vowel, the word would be a pejorative for those who are intellectually challenged
6:11 am

Marc, it is a homophone of a word meaning to delay or slow down, or a derogatory term for a mentally challenged person

BabbleRabble
Give up the ghost - die, stop working
In this sense, ghost is the obsolete word for 'soul' or 'spirit' and the fact that it is given up implies that it has an existence separate from and outliving the human body. The phrase is found frequently in the Bible to mean 'die', though in modern use it is jocularly applied to a piece of equipment, occasionally to a person, that ceases to function.
8:27 am
MimiCat
Thx, BR, I knew what it meant I just don't see it in the grid. But, then again, there is always a LOT I don't see in the grid!!
8:29 am
