Today's words

benedict \BEN-ih-dikt\ - a newly married man who has long been a bachelor

Nope, didn't have a clue on this one. Although words that have their etymology in Shakespearean comedy tend to be fun!

shivaree noun \'shih-va-REE, SHIH-va-'ree\ - a noisy mock serenade to a newly married couple

I'd heard of this one before, but couldn't recall it.
