perambulation is a good one. My morning walk isn't quite grand enough to be called a 'constitutional'; nor scenic and leisurely enough to be called a 'stroll'; nor yet social enough to be called a 'promenade'; 'perambulation' is just the ticket.

Interrobang.

It's this thing: ‽

More people should use the symbol because it looks cool and has a badass name, so for that you need to know what it's called.

Who's with me‽

Petrichor: The smell of rain on dry ground. One of those things everybody knows about but lacks a word for.

Overmorrow refers to the day after tomorrow

Figured the other way around might be as obscure...
nudiustertian: relating to the day before yesterday

Yikes

Sonder (noun): the feeling one has on realizing that every other individual one sees has a life as full and real as one’s own, in which they are the central character and others, including oneself, have secondary or insignificant roles: In a state of sonder, each of us is at once a hero, a supporting cast member, and an extra in overlapping stories.

callipygous : having shapely buttocks

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/callipygous

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widdershins

Just because it sounds cool.

"Thrice" is a somewhat obscure word that otherwise fits.

"Adventitious" is a good one. It means "non-inherent" or "acquired" (as opposed to inherent.)

Widdershins. It means counter to the sun's direction , and was seen as inauspicious. Counter-clockwise, before clocks.

Avuncular - of or having the qualities of an uncle.

“His avuncular joke was both lazy and sexist”

Gormless - Lacking initiative, foolish

Copacetic - correct, orderly, good

• Paramour

It sounds fancy, but means a casual lover. A fuck buddy. A friend with benefits. Though it can also carry the implication of being an out-of-wedlock lover, as it dates back to a time where having a fuck buddy was almost certainly a sign of married infidelity.

• Kith

Means one's friends and other people they are close to that aren't family. Often paired with "kin". Kith and kin. Friends and family.

Borborygmus I use often enough, but it's not widely known. It's the gurgling sound produced by the movement of gas through your intestines.

Limaceous I almost never use, but I enjoy it anyway. It means characteristic of or pertaining to slugs.

And lastly, tawdry is one of my favorites meaning showy but cheap and poor quality.

Shemomedjamo - Georgian word meaning to eat past the point of fullness because it tastes so good or as I heard it, "I accidentally ate the whole thing."

Not a word, but there's a specific phrase uttered when you casually pass by someone working, stop for a chat, and then genuinely wish them well with their work as you leave.

This phrase does not exist in English:

• "Break a leg" is close, but more reserved for some grand performance

Nor does it exist in German:

• "Viel Spass/Glück" (Have fun, Good Luck) is also close, but has an element of sarcasm and/or success through chance.
• (Edit) "Frohes Schaffen" (Happy 'getting it done') is pretty spot on.

In Turkish, you just say "Kolay Gelsin", meaning "May the work come easy so that you finish sooner".

Its such a useful unjudgemental phrase, easily uttered, that I've seen nowhere else. Maybe other languages have it too.

Indubitably!

It means most certainly, beyond questioning.

And it's fun to say!

Grok

It means to know or understand, like "yeah man I can grok that."

I've got six of them:

• Tittynope: "A small amount left over; a modicum."
• Cacography: "bad handwriting or spelling."
• Epeolatry: "the worship of words."
• Kakistocracy: "a state or society governed by its least suitable or competent citizens."
• Oikophilia: "love of home"
• Tenebrous: "dark; shadowy or obscure"

Sesquipedalian: A user of big words

I like that saying sesquipedalian makes you sesquipedalian.

Brobdingnagian.

It's a very big word that means very big.

It comes from Gulliver's travels. The Brobdingnagians are giants, 12 times the height of humans. The word isn't limited to that scale, but it's definitely for things that are unusually large compared to us.

It's the literal opposite of Lilliputian, which is from the better known race from "Travels" that are 1/12 our size.

It's my absolute favorite word. Not just because it's a literary reference but it's fun to say. Brob ding nag ian. It just burbles off the tongue like a drunken stream stumbling among the rocks of its bed. And, it's a big word that means big, which is just fun wordplay. Like the phobia of big words, hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, which was inevitable as soon as the idea of a phobia of big words was conceived.

It's German but 'Rucksackriemenquerverbindungsträger', the thing between the straps of a backpack that you can connect to lighten the load on your shoulders.

I'd settle for not seeing "should/could/would of" typed out anymore.

Gloam/gloaming

The onset of twilight/becoming gloomy

Propreantepenultimate. Fifth to last.

1. Ultimate

overmorgen, in Dutch. I heard this 'overmorrow' word a couple times as a response in that they wish it did exist

Defenestration. Throwing someone out of a window. Example the defenestration of prague

I have a double whammy: Nonplussed.

Bewildered; unsure how to respond or act. Double whammy because it does not mean not-plussed like many people seem to think.

ereyesterday is the day before yesterday. as a german i am used to refer to two days in the past and future without useing weekdays.

Obstreperous - noisy or difficult to control (as in "the boy is cocky and obstreperous")

I think it's used more often in computer science, but the difference between contiguous and continuous. Continuous means "without end" and contiguous means "without break."

Perchance!
