Farding Around

First known use of the word fard was the 15th century. The meaning is to paint (the face) with cosmetics,to gloss over. I had never heard this word before today,and deeply regret that fact. Now I want to work it into my vocabulary and use it at every opportunity. Can you see the signs at schools? or perhaps hear a teacher admonish "No farding during class"! or maybe an officer of the law writing a ticket for farding while driving? That has always scared me stiff when I see a woman applying mascara while driving. The possibilities for using this word are only limited by your imagination!
