New Words #9

Came across some more "new" words.

As with previous posts, these are not necessarily "brand new" words..... just new ones to me:  words that I've come across recently which I had never heard before.

smishing:

hair discrimination:

ship-breaking:

a type of ship disposal involving the breaking up of ships for either a source of parts, which can be sold for re-use, or for the extraction of raw materials and scrap

And now, you know them too!

Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
