"Stint" and "Stunt."
Stint is a good word as a noun. As
a verb it means something not quite I
eo pleasing Do not confound it with
stunt, however. A stunt Is something
quite useless. It Is the horse-play of
the mountebank, and has nothing in
common with honest, productive labor
A stint is the warning to the wise that
