Odd Seldom used Words

[Newey]

Same here. Words go through periods of being the latest buzzword in finance. Bifurcated was one a while back.

Can I chuck in 'contiguous'?

A while ago all my colleagues remained cognisant of things, rather than just keeping them in mind.

I use 'cognisant' a fair bit.

And I do like to use the word 'Magnificent' as much as possible.

Glorious is mine, but not said quickly you have to spread it out to get the full effect.

[Newey]

I'd like to see the word 'Minge' brought back into common usage.

and "slapper"

Many years ago we were watching a dodgy film on a boy's night in.

2 black guys were servicing a lovely young lass. Then one decided to take advantage of the tradesman's entrance.

After a while he proclaims

"This ass is treemendous" (Accent on tree)

We still joke about it now

[cheb]

Irascible, you fucking idiots.

[Mr Moofo]

Gruntled

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

I have a whole range of insulting words used to describe other drivers that my young adult offspring are amazed by when I use them, such as nong, dipshit, fuck wit and dilbert.

Neither of them understand why "Joey" is an insulting term.

[porter_jamie]

From the missus, sorry, I was wrong, etc

[Yambo]

Usufruct.

A few years back when I used to manage the site, I got the site Management Plan translated into English - owners were about 50/50 Turkish and English (one Swede).

The translator who carried out the task gave me the translated copy to proof read. I had to phone her up and ask what usufructs were.

I got some Tsukigi parts from Japan for my ZRX11. The instructions were incomprehensible gibberish. Turns out the Japanese instructions were translated into English by a Swede who apparently didn't speak Japanese or English.

[ChrisW]

Perspicacity - just one of those words I like the sound of.

[ChrisW]

Palaver

There’s a small village near where we’re staying at the moment called Parlava. I do the Dad joke every time we pass through.

We're planning that in a few years

Both my kids know who Joey was, does that make me a bad parent?

[mangocrazy]

Peccadillo - a relatively minor fault or sin.

I always thought that 'The Peccadilloes' would be a great band name.

[demographic]

I'm quite fond of "shenanigans" and a think "unctuous" is a good un as well.
My mother used unctuous to describe a particularly smarmy bloke she had to deal with at her work.

And isnt "Confibularities" from Blackadder? The dictionary one?

[Mr. Dazzle]

I find myself anaspeptic and frasmotic at the very idea it might be.

Isn't Shenanigans a franchise of Irish theme bars?

They're everywhere.

[demographic]

I'm a big big of "Twerp" as an insult not full on sweary but it covers a lot of ground when someone is being a bit of a stroppy teenager type. Bit of a Kevin if you see what I mean.
A Cumbrian one I also like is "Chull" and no, it's not a type of fish.
Oh and reciprocity.

[mangocrazy]

Oh and reciprocity.

I first got to know about reciprocity in connection with the word 'failure'. It's a film photography thing. Anyone else encountered it in that connection?
