A quick definition of legerwite:

Legerwite is an old word that means a fine for doing something wrong. Specifically, it was a fine paid to the lord of the manor for committing adultery or fornication. The lord had the right to receive this fine, especially if the person involved was one of his female villeins. Other names for legerwite include lairwite, lecherwite, and leirwita.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Legerwite is a fine for adultery or fornication paid to the lord of the manor in medieval times. It was a lord's privilege of receiving a fine for fornication with the lord's female villeins.

Example: If a man had sexual relations with a female villein who belonged to the lord of the manor, he would have to pay a legerwite as a fine to the lord.

This example illustrates how legerwite was a way for lords to control the sexual behavior of their female villeins and to profit from it.

I wish that wearing a mask when sick stuck around as an okay thing like it is in the rest of the world, not all of us have enough sick days to be ditching work.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
