Wordy Birdie

I don't have much, but I figured I would at least do something.

1) insalubrious- Not sustaining or promoting health

2) faquir - a Muslim or Hindu mendicant monk who is regarded as a holy man

3) sahib- Used formerly as a form of respectful address for a European man in colonial India

  1. Isn't it "fakir"?

    And thanks for looking that up because I kind of wondered what it meant but never looked it up.

    Now I'm wondering what "mendicant" means??

    Here we go--> A mendicant is: a male member of a religious order that relies solely on alms; beggar.
