    My first offering is the word “Pish”

    It is a word of numerous meanings, the most common of which are “an expression of disdain” and “a variant of piss.”

    Great word.

    What have you got?

    Nefarious and cogniscent are favourites of mine. And ne’er-do-well.

    Verbalize. Unnecessary Americanised jargon, taking the verb to talk and making a longer alternative for ( as far as I can see), no real purpose.

    Love to throw that into a conversation with a straight face.

    Not going to win any phonaesthetics awards, but I really like it when someone exclaims “capital!” instead of excellent. You need to be really posh to pull it off though!

    Nice one Binners, “flanges” goes well with “spigot”. We could add Swage.
