Word of the day

And to replace phagocytosis (sorry to anyone who has already put these up in a previous version of this thread [or the invisible-to-guests bit, or whatever bit it is that I’m missing]).

Fanarkling (I’m told this is a sport).

And one of my favorite forms of cool word, "phobia"s:

Aeronausiphobia- Fear of vomiting secondary to airsickness.

Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.

Aulophobia- Fear of flutes.

Blennophobia- Fear of slime.

Epistaxiophobia- Fear of nosebleeds.

Pentheraphobia- Fear of mother-in-law.

Zemmiphobia- Fear of the great mole rat.

Possibly the best of all phobia words:

My word of the day is “Frust”.

My latest new word – onomasticon.

Jessica Rabbit, I think Bippy was making fun of himself.

Ding ding ding ding. We have a winner :slight_smile:

p.s. I think Lemur Catta wins with collywobbles not just word of the day, but word of the week at least.

Usually pronounced “Aaargh!” as in the following group therapy snippet: “Hi, my name is Dave and I have… Aaargh!”. :stuck_out_tongue:
I’ll modestly offer up “Perfunctory”.

Great word! I just had to Google it, and I came across this site:

What a site. If you love useless information about words - this it!

Reading it further - I’d just love to be a homophobic anagram - wouldn’t you?
