Forget Me Not

We are all aware that the country as a whole is becoming dumber. In fact judging by some of the Herberts at school, most people should be rolling around in their own excrement all day.
However for all of you that are able to communicate past a 3rd year level here's some new words that you should try to include in your daily banter.

For those of you who are struggling, definitions are included free of charge :)


pilfreiconcialimoniousibbialconnairibaliconndenialscalinisi-blancisirrhoisoicitis - a type of throat disease, so why call it a sore throat?

mississippischaufelraddampferkapitnsmtzenfabrikbesitzer - double points for this one as its in German, it means: a mississippi paddle wheel steamer captain cap factory owner

otiose - Means, roughly, "too complex/arrogant/whatever to be dealt with right now." But, the word is rare and obscure enough that just using it automatically means that you're being otiose yourself...

defenestratede - out, fenestra- Latin for window. defenestrate- to throw something(one) out of a window.

Those of you up for a challenge, look up the meaning of these words.

  1. charnk
  2. crwth
  3. lilliputian
  4. misogynist
  5. moribund
  6. spatchcock
  7. twitterpated

Good Luck, Class Dismissed.
