Re: Chantry
Reminds me of "pantry" but I also got the feeling I'd seen the word before so I googled it and yeah it's a word. I cba re-writing it so here's the wikipedia entry for those who are too lazy to google;--"A chantry may refer to one of two meanings of the term. Firstly, it could mean the prayers and liturgy in the Christian church reserved for the dead as part of the search for atonement for sins committed during their life.[1] It might include the mass and by extension, the endowment left for the purpose of the continuance of prayers and liturgy. It could be called a type of "trust fund" established during the pre-Reformation medieval era in England for the purpose of employing one or more priests to sing a stipulated number of services for the benefit of the soul of a specified deceased person, usually the donor who had established the chantry in his will. There could be a stipulated period of time immediately following her/his death. It was believed such masses might help atone for misdeeds and with mercy enable the soul to be granted eternal peace in the presence of God. Chantries were commonly established in England and were endowed with lands, rents from specified properties and other assets by the donor, usually in his will. The income from these assets maintained the "chantry" priest."--Not a fan. Don't like the sound, don't like the meaning.---"one particular boogie will move mirror massaging with stirring crepe mixture, positioning loaves while in the furnace then toting items in containers" ~ best Russian daing sites (guest, 198.144.149.xxx) (2020)

Yes, I was aware of the meaning and I personally am not the biggest fan and wouldn't ever use it but I heard it for the first time yesterday and was kind of intrigued by it ;) It also reminds me of "chapel" + "pantry" ;)
