Unsay vs Unshy - What's the difference?
unsay | unshy |
To withdraw, retract (something said).
*1851 , Herman Melville, Moby-Dick :
*:And in the first place, you will be so good as to unsay that story about selling his head, which if true I take to be good evidence that this harpooneer is stark mad [...].
To not have said (since this is physically impossible usually in the subjunctive, as I wish I could unsay ).
:There are somethings I'd like to unsay ... to my boss... right before he decided to fire me.
