VOCABULARY

FLOTEL

This is a ’flotel’. In a news report on Yahoo I came across the word ’flotel’, which I had not heard of before but which makes sense! It is a floating hotel, actually a sort of barracks on a barge, destined to house the workers who are helping to lcean up the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. This permits the workers to be near their working site, and saves their employers having to transport them long distances to and from their worksite.
