    Anthropomorphic is an awesome word, but sadly there is little call for using it day to day. Womblecropt is an old word for stomach pains and I love pumpernickel because it literally means devils fart when taken back to it’s root words.

    ‘amongst’

    The Americans don’t have it, so can’t say, ‘The cat is amongst the pigeons.’

    Moribund……a lovely word not used often enough.
    Hysteria…. From a friends 1930’s dictionary, ‘Wild erratic unpredictable behaviour, especially in women’
    Gullible…. Not in the dictionary

    Generally cured with a vibrator, apparently.

    There are some words that just feel good coming off the tongue – moist being one of them

    I got to use “nomenclature” in a conversation at work the other day, it was awesome. The librarians love it and the normal people get this odd look as they can’t work out iif you have said something a bit rude or not.

    I was also accused by somebody highly literate but barking mad of being in possession of “egregious mendacity”.

    Both excellent words, neither true.

    Does “Reefer” mean the same thing in the UK ? I followed a van home today that was in “Reefer supply services” It also hired out “gensets” whatever those are, some kind of bong I imagine.
