I love good or unusual words.  Sometimes I like the way they sound or the way they roll off the tongue.  I even like silly words.

 

Let's share some words we like.

 

A good example is the word ablution.  It means a ritual cleansing.

 

Your turn.

Sploot is a funny word.  Look it up.

 

It has several meanings - one is the sound made when you squeeze a bar until it pops out of your hands - sploot.

Piffle is a very good word.

 

It is my name and it means to talk nonsense.

 

Describes me well.

GreenHornet you are good.

 

I will have to dig out the unabridged dictionary to top yours.

GreenHornet is the best.

 

But my small try is  antipodes - direct opposites.

GreenHornet - I thought those were words you used in everyday conversations.

This is fun and educational.  I am going to use some of these words to confuse and mystify my friends.

 

Good job GreenHornet.

Callipygean.... Having well-shaped buttocks....

 

I am going to use this word with my girlfriend.  She will probably slap me because all she has is a big butt.

Klazomaniac... A compulsive shouter

 

I was unhappily married to a klazomanic.  Tried duct tape but it did not work.  Had to shoot her.

I have groaked a few times in my life.  I like these words.  we should all use them to spice up conversations.

Quomodocunquize... To make Money by any means possible...

 

I need to quomodocunquize so I can have wild women and booze.

 

When you do not quomodocunquize it can get lonely and makes it difficult to attract wanton women.

Gubbertush... A bucktoothed person...

 

I dated a gubbertush once.  Didn't notice her teeth until later because I was interested in her callipygean features.
