Allison and Geraghty both mentioned this NPR story on words that have been lost from the English language, so I took a moment to listen. I'm glad that Allison called me "bellibones" yesterday.
The term is an old English word derived from the French phrase, belle et bonne. It refers to "a good woman" — a woman who is not only good looking, but also has a good heart.
