trapical Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Me and my High School friend used to sit around in class and have conversations about normal things but the game was every sentance needed a word people never/rarely hear. We started out using stuff like "hence" "ergo" and "quid-pro-quo" stuff that most people know. However as the year progressed we found/used bigger and rarer words. Here are my all time 3 favorite Plethora (pleth-a-rah) - A superabundance; an excess. "Oh my, notes on pages 312-340 due tomorrow? Thats a lot of homework... I say that may even be a plethora of work" Detritus (deh-tri-tus) - Loose rock (lol). "Hmm, it appears I must have walked on a gravel road, for I have much detritus stuck to my shoe" Steatopygia (s-tea-at-a-pit-i-ah) - An extreme accumulation of fat on the buttocks (aka, a plethora sized butt) :P. "Dude, check it out, that chick totally has Steatopygia" otherwise known as a plethora of fat. So yea, there fun to use. Anyone know any other spiffy words?

MrBiffo Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I've used plethora and detritus several times before, but I don't think I see myself ever saying "Steatopygia" =p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Plethora is quite common. Well I hear it quite a lot. Fester is common too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmw Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I've used Detrius quite a lot in Science class :wink: What about....facetious? I think thats a pretty cool word, and I haven't really heard anyone use it (aside from tv). Intended to be humorous but often silly or inappropriate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizla Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Maybe not a rare word but 'satsuma' is clearly the greatest word in the English language. I am not open to debate on this subject. Kirk and Lars I could handle. At the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futurama Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Seem to struggle to get "Please" or "Thanks" said from anyone where i live. Us "teenagers" are so arrogant that nobody actually pays attention when we're polite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us "teenagers" are so arrogant that nobody actually pays attention when we're polite. So true, there. I'm polite. :roll: I think... But what the hell.

trapical Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 Plethora is quite common. Well I hear it quite a lot. Fester is common too. I know, plethora is getting used more and more everyday :cry: err, actually I'm not sure if thats a sad thought or a happy one, its cool that its getting popular but I always considered it to be like 'my' word. Hmm, quite a conundrum :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logic-is-overrated Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Wiggy. Not to be confused with jiggy which has come to replace wiggy even tho Will Smith has made jiggy really ***. This is the way the world ends. Look at this [bleep]ing shit we're in man. Not with a bang, but with a whimper. And with a whimper, I'm splitting, Jack.

Crim_nimora Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Ahh I had so many a few days ago, when I was in the 8th grade we had to do we had around 800 words (damn advanced classes) and none of them were easy to remeber. forgot most but heres a few lets see who can compete :) Funabulist-tightrope walker Equilibrist-also tightrope walker Terrafirma-firm land Apostasy-desertion of principle Hedonism-devotion to pleasure Mannumission-realease from slavery Colloquy- conversation Incoloparentis-in place of parents phyiognomly-facial charector costermonger-vegetable vendor saturnine-gloomy and remote gynocrasy-goverment of women psuedonym-false name aquiline-eaglelike mobocrasy-goverment controlled by a mafia nepotism-favoritism of relatives I have to say hedonism is my favorite. I had them all on papers but found them in my basement 3 days ago and tossed 'em. Ahh well you guys try remebering 800 words of that difficulty in less than a year, while doing algebra 2 (with a psycho [bleep] who broke both her legs and never missed a day), and do it hungover. ...wonder why I passed...
