Abstract
A kickshaw is defined either in a neutral manner as "a bauble, rifle, or knicknack" or more flatteringly as "a fancy tidbit; a delicacy." The purpose of this feature is to satisfy both definitions by presenting linguistic items of light weight and vast diversity, designed to appeal to the tastes of all recreational linguisticians.
