Word of the Week is:

Foss: a ditch or moat. "After that he threw their bodies into the foss or great ditch that surrounded the palace." - 1001 Arabian Nights

This word has a lovely sound - far superior to "ditch" or "moat." It is also spelled fosse, like Bob Fosse, but I prefer it e-less. Foss. Foss. Reminds me of sluice; another great word.
