2493: druthers Oct 9, 2021

The word 'druthers' is almost always used in the plural form, though the singular is technically possible, and more common in the past. This is a bit strange, because the word originated in the US as an amalgamation of the phrase "I'd rather". These days, it is usually a noun as well, but it does sometimes appear as it might from the original contraction such as "I druther not", though this verb is more farcical, while the noun can be used in more serious contexts, relatively speaking.
