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

Grawlix.

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

Tesselate. We did a project on it in year 2 and I never forgot it 😂

I’m a big fan of lollygagging. Also widdershins. Also old Kentish word for muddle which is boffle.

Perigrination - to go on a long walk or journey. I came across it in some text I was using with my Year 13 students and now I try to use it as often as it makes sense to.

I do like widdershins, it sounds like something witches would do.

Spifflicate - to treat harshly.

I also like unctuous and oleaginous.

Kaylied. Ex's term for being drunk.

I can recommend following Susie Dent on Twitter. Her word of the day today is smellfungus, meaning someone who always complains.

One of my favourites is facund. It's a recherche term meaning erudite.
Although I was also quite proud of myself to think of the word verisimiltitudinous in a word game this morning 😁.

I like aviatrix - it’s the feminised version of aviator.

Oh there's a twitter poster that you'd love! Ley me find it!

Collation (meaning a meal) is one I like. And clambake, that always sounds fun.

Persiflage - banter or badinage.

Enough of this persiflage - must get on!

Sesquipedalian, which means wordy.

I came on to add scurryfunge & someone has beaten me to it

I like borborygmus. We use it frequently.

The rumbling or gurgling noise made by the movement of fluid and gas in the intestines.

A rumbly tummy? Ooh, a bit of borborygmus going on there 😀

Thank you for Petrichor, never knew there was a word for that, wonderful! (Cad and bounder are used prolifically in my house)

Cad and bounder are excellent words, I humbly add scoundrel to the list as I think it needs more of an airing in daily life.

Gruntled. Content, the opposite of disgruntled.

"My rabbit is particularly gruntled today".

I always think bucolic sounds like a horrible illness!

I like gibbous, it feels nice to say.

Widdershins also a favourite.

Parsimonious is pleasing to say too.

Yes yes to Susie Dent

My word came from The Merriam-Webster dictionary Instagram page.

Love love lollygagging and bimble.

Gruntled is rather fabulous.

Blade is along the lines of Cad

"blade noun [C] (MAN)
old use. an attractive and confident young man: a dashing young blade"

Dithyrambic.

Means impassioned, usually pertaining to speech.

Mither
Frequently directed at children - stop mithering (going on and on and on)

Also a fan of 'disingenuous' ever since I spoiled my smug managers crossword. He treated everyone as his intellectual inferior and was quite surprised that I knew such a big word. I know short words as well. Twat.

Another one I like is testatrix meaning a woman who has left a will. (Discovered on a wall plaque in the church I attend).

Not as exclusive as some posts above but I've always been partial to the verb "ameliorate" (make (something bad or unsatisfactory) better).

Rarely see it in the wild.

@MrsDanversGlidesAgain I remember books about Lizzie Dripping when I was young, and I think she summoned up the village witch by walking three times widdershins around the Church. Not sure if I've remembered correctly, but the word widdershins definitely came into it.

Fun bit of trivia - a dithyramb was a hymn in praise of Dionysus in Ancient Greece.

Encomium means the same - a speech or written piece praising someone to the skies.

Fulsome is the opposite - over-egging the praise to the point of insincerity.

I felt so cheated after the first rain in ages this summer - I had a bunged up nose and couldn't smell the petrichor!
