English is a Brigand
Just been reminded of a magnificent word that English pinched from the French - "oeuvre." Miriam-Webster defines it as "a substantial body of work constituting the lifework of a writer, an artist, or a composer," and it should be enormously useful in the context of WdC. Here's hoping it returns to more general use because it sounds so much more impressive than just "lifework."
