there may be a reason....

 According to today's entry in my page a day trivia calendar 'smicker' is an archaic verb that means to look at someone amorously.  It's probably of Scandinavian origin.  Ever since I read this, I've been trying to think how I would use it in a sentence.  A verb is an action word right?  You remember grammar.  Nouns and verbs are the basics.  So "I smicker you?"  It would be shorter than saying something like "I look at you adoringly."  But still, smicker?  On the other hand, it might sound nicer that "He's checking her out." or in fairness "She's checking him out."  "He's smickering her."  She's smickering him."  Nope, it just doesn't sound very amorous.  There may be a reason why it's use died out.  But tonight, just for fun, tell someone you love that you smicker them.
