Weird Words

Weird Words Weird Words Weird Words By Daniel Scocco Browsing on the web today I came across an interested website that lists hundreds of weird words from the English language. Here are some that caught my attention: Alexipharmic Having the quality or nature of an antidote to poison. Astrobleme An eroded meteor impact crater. Bloviate To speak pompously. Bromopnea Bad breath. Ceraunograph A lightning recorder. Contumely Insolent or insulting language or treatment. Droogish Relating to the nature or attitudes of a member of a street gang. Engastrimyth A ventriloquist. Florilegium A collection of writings; a portfolio of flower pictures. Fustilugs A grossly fat or slovenly woman. Ginglyform Hinge-shaped. Lipogrammatist A writer of lipograms. Mongo An object retrieved from rubbish; a scavenger. Pogonotrophy Cultivation of a beard; beard-growing. You might need a good dictionary to find those.
