WTF?! I know maybe half of these words! Bellicose? Jejune? Quotidian?
I must be lugubrious. 🙁 My favorite word, panacea, didn’t make the list. Double lugubrious!!

Bellicose…isn’t that when you get those ugly veins sticking out on your legs? LOL
My favorite word is onomotapeia. I know for sure I just spelled that wrong.

i like “juxtaposition”. and “wolds”, as in wolds of fat.
my sister just turned me onto using “ironical”. yes, it’s an acceptable spelling.

Wolds?! Who came up with that word anyways?
Though it is better than “risis.” You know, what you have when there’s a crisis in the rice fields, you have a risis.
Now that’s a word!
