cloyed

The master silversmith George Cloyed helps to preserve the 18th-century period trade in Williamsburg, Va. He has practiced the craft for 44 years and trains apprentices for about seven years.

Appetites already cloyed by the night’s heat were further diminished.

Cloyed pitched one scoreless inning — his first big league appearance since Sept. of 2013 — and picked up the win on Friday night in relief.

I began gobbling all the food until my stomach burst open, revealing my cloyed intestines, which burst open too.

As Coburn, a raspberry swirl of red face and white hat, jacket and moustache, brandished the winning trophy, only the most leaden of hearts would have failed to have been moved as the sheer euphoria and happiness of the occasion cloyed in his throat, rendering him all but speechless for what I’d hesitate to guess is the first time in his life.
