My family and I regularly use the word aprIcate. We use it quite a bit to describe our dogs laying out on the deck in the sun. I’m not sure where we picked it up but we have made a valiant effort, for the past few years, to bring back this word from the dustbin of history. That being said, I’m off to join the dogs in apricating on the deck.
