Aug 11 Word of the Day
A phrase to describe someone who is cognitively degenerating. Synonym of "going off the deep end". Can have varying degrees of severity.
Reference to the song "Hey You" by Pink Floyd. The line "and the worms ate into his brain" makes no sense in an otherwise linear and literal narration throughout the lyrics.

A world that is used primarily on internet site.
It cannot be found in the dictionary and drives many people crazy as it is incorrect.
Allot means to share/ divide space or things- this is where allotment came from, an allotted space of land.
lot- meaning one of a set of objects/ a way of deciding (similar to vote) or the decision or choice made by such a method.
a lot- Very many, a large number; also, very much.
Now, the word 'alot' doesn't appear in any correct dictionary, so it is not a word. It is a popular misspelling- done by those who seem to have missed basic spelling classes in Primary school.
