Hello
how do I post my new word
aVils (a very intelligent living species)but not from around here
A gloss on “contactless.” I have heard and read “to prox” used as a verb to mean “use a contactless card.” In other words, you just have to wave it in the proximity of the reader. Typical usage: “You’ll need to prox your college ID to get in the building.”
