Today's word

transpontine /trans-PAHN-tyne/ - 1. situated on the farther side of a bridge 2. (British) situated on the south side of the Thames
This seems as if it could be a useful word. I'm surprised I've never encountered it before. I'm not sure I'll ever use it, but at least I hope to recognize it should I encounter it in the wild. My brain keeps wanting to use the "teen" pronunciation of the last syllable, though.
