moil MOYL, intransitive verb:
1. To work with painful effort; to labor; to toil; to drudge.
2. To churn or swirl about continuously.

Some people read horoscopes online. I find dictionary.com’s Word of the Day much more accurate.

I guess I'd have thought something completely different based on the Noun instead of the intransitive verb...

I mean if you had said that you were going to be moiling away, I'd just as soon be as far away from you as possible.;->

noun:
1. Toil; hard work; drudgery.
2. Confusion; turmoil.

?

I think you're thinking of moyle. :)

Which, yeah... I see your point.

No...

As in the the Yiddish for Moil (which is my dictionary at work under the first description, and yours is second and third).

Weird. The yiddish is listed as moyle on several sites. Weird.

Heh. I was in Speech in high school for a year or two, and during that time they had some sort of poetry recitation category... The poem I did was Robert Service's "The Cremation of Sam McGee" which I still enjoy quite a bit. The first part goes something like:

There are strange things done under the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold
The arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold
The northern lights have seen strange sights, but the strangest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
When I cremated Sam McGee.
