Shirp - verb.

Have you ever dreamt of a word? Funnily enough last week I found myself dreaming about using LJ to post a Wednesday Word and it was...shirp.

Upon awakening, I Googled and was disppointed to find SHIRP was an acronym for a University of Saskatchewan journal program.

But a little more sleuthing and it turns out shirp is a real word, from Scots. It means to either shrink or shrivel, or have a shrunken and shrivelled appearance.

I wonder what other words my subsconscious will cough up :-)
