I've recently discovered a Glorious word. I thought I share and ask for more.

[GretaGip]

Grawlix.

You can f#%£ing thank me by throwing more rare but eminently usable words at me.

[Delphigirl]

Prolix

meaning unduly wordy

[GretaGip]

Is there a rule that you have to make a mistake when contributing to PC?

[Delphigirl]

”he wrote to her with his characteristic prolixity”

lovely

[LosingTheBelly]

You are highly unreasonable to not give a definition. In fact i say **&&% in your general direction.



DH and I talk about this thing all the time.

My favourite words that are not in common parlance anymore are;

'gloaming'

and 'sennight'.

I have an aim to bring sennight back into usage. I adore this word.

[Stratocumulus]

Discombobulate
Discombobulating

Confuse/Confusing

[Delphigirl]

Both are excellent. I see your Denbigh and raise you “thricely”.

[RubberRuck]

Scurryfunge

Meaning to hastily race around your house tidying up for impending visitors.

A wonderful word.

[ThatshallotBaby]

Petrichor. The smell in the air after it rains.
I also like cad and bounder and wish they were still used

[GretaGip]

Ooh excellent I thought I might be alone in here.

I thank you

[Loveys]

Oh I have one! Maybe you can help me actually remember it 😂

it starts with b and means landscape or countryside? I heard it the other day and declared I would use it at every opportunity. Then I forgot it 😂

[LosingTheBelly]

I am also a bit of a fan of the more evocative collective nouns.

A murder of crows.

A murder of nuns.

A clouder of cats.

Makes me happy.

[Loveys]

My other one is bimble

to walk at a slow pace. I use it for my elderly dog - we go for a bimble around the block

[Delphigirl]

Bucolic

[BBno4]

Boondocks?

[Loveys]

Oh thanks you lot I have actually written it down now!

I just asked my husband which underused words he knew - I won't repeat the word he said 🙄 😂

[BusyLemon]

Pettifogging / pettifogger.

Also callipygian.

[Loveys]

Although boondocks is also great. Added to my list 😊

[PortiaWithNoBreaks]
