#WeirdWordWednesday #weirdwords @CBee

To be fair, I think we also need to add polyHERSter and polyTHEIRSter to the dictionary. 😀

CBee I agree 💯 1d

julieclair Does anyone even know how to sing like that anymore? 1w
TheBookHippie @julieclair Actually yes, Jazz Clubs I‘ve heard some good stuff. Post Modern Jukebox comes close. It‘s lovely isn‘t it? 1w
julieclair So, you just sent me scurrying to Spotify. I‘d never heard of Postmodern Jukebox. Oh my! Their cover of Jolene is unbelievable! Gut wrenching. I‘m an instant fan! 1w

This is one I figured out from context clues but I enjoy the definition - "a violent expression"

julesG My daughter asked me yesterday what a Morgenmuffel is and if anyone ever uses it in German these days. She insisted no one was using it anymore. 😈 When she was her non-cheerfullest this morning (teenagers, I get it, but still), I couldn't hold back and called her a Morgenmuffel. 😁😁 1w
CBee Me too 100% 😂😂 1w

Thank you, Percival Everett, for introducing me to this word (and plenty of others, it was actually hard to choose 🤩). Here‘s a Wiki about fescennine verse - so interesting: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fescennine_Verses 🤓 #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

Amiable This made me LOL. When my kids were younger, my oldest son asked me what a word meant because he was too lazy to look it up. This is how that conversation went: Son: “What does ‘salacious‘ mean?” Me: “Licentious.” Son: “What? What the heck does ‘licentious‘ mean?” Me: “Prurient.” Son: (throwing his arms into the air and stomping away) “Why can‘t I have normal parents instead of being forced to live with a human thesaurus?” 🙄😄 (edited) 1w
CBee @Amiable 😂😂😂😂 that is the BEST 1w
Amiable @CBee I was like, “don‘t ask the question if you don‘t want to hear the answer!” 😀 1w
CBee @Amiable it‘s reminding me of my son - I have a habit of making everything into a song and he‘s like “mom, why do you have to do that” 😂😂😂 (cause it‘s fun lol) 1w
Amiable @CBee Because embarrassing our kids is our right and our privilege! 😁 1w
CBee @Amiable but of course! 😊😊😂😂 1w

Found in my current read (Demon Copperhead), where it‘s written as “sigoggling.” Used to describe a bunch of cars at a party, parked a bit haphazardly 😁

dabbe This would be a fun one to make a song out of! “Last night I went sigogglin' ... down to the river so fair...“ 🎵🤩🎵 1mo
Amiable Fun word! I guess it‘s the Appalachian equivalent of “cattywampus,” maybe? 1mo
CBee @dabbe actually, when I searched for the word, there‘s a band called “Radioactive Sandwich” that did a song called “Sigogglin” 😁😂 1mo
CBee @Amiable it totally is! 1mo
