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. My Firefox extension is not recognizing them, for instance.  What about you, got any weird words to share?                                          Want to improve your English in five minutes a day?
