'Raucous' seemed so far off the mark for Rusty (the person) that I quite liked it!

I don't get "raucous" meaning "rusty"?
What can't I see, Malone?

Hi Crusty

It’s definition number 8 under rusty in Chambers

Hello, DJA,
So it is!
A new meaning for me.
Always learning.
Thank you!

Rusty, I know you're like me and enjoy coming across new/previously unknown definitions. I'd never seen 'rusty' = 'raucous' before, so thought I'd use it immediately.

One little slice of spam lurking...I'll bump this up!

Hello, Malone!
I should have investigated "rusty/raucous" a bit deeper.
This is what happens when I presume I know what a word means!
So, well done on your clue and we all get to learn a new definition!

Rusty, I love coming across new, exotic words - but it's just as satisfying to find new definitions for existing, common, everyday words!
