So, I leave for Italy soon, and on these fun-filled trips across the pond, a certain member of the faculty at my school and I like to see who can use an absurd word the most. Last time was "Sasquatch" and I won, thank you very much. This trip does not yet have a fun word, but I'm looking for a good one. A few contenders are the following:
Askew, disarrayed, or disorderly.
Gobbledygook
A 20th century term used to describe nonsensical language like that used by government bureaucrats
Cahoots
Partnership; comradeship.
Vaccimulgence
The act of milking of cows
Defenestration
A noun meaning the throwing of a person or thing out a window
Higgledy-Piggledy
Askew, without prior planning, or every which way
Mustachioed
The state of having a mustache
Monkeyshines
Useful when "shenanigans" just doesn't cut it
Monkeyshines
Useful when "shenanigans" just doesn't cut it
Pogonotrophy
Fancy word for the cultivation of a beard
Prestigiator
Fancy word for a juggler.
in other news, Christie and Ben came for a lovely visit. They make me smile. =)
logorrhea
ReplyDelete-The excessive flow/a spewing of words.
ahh yes cattywampus is out because this word is already used too much...and it's a regular part of my own vocabulary. However, defenestration is always a fun word to use.
