these words must be used everyday, honestly

I just come upon this amazing website solely dedicated to English vocabulary which contains some weird, archaic, and interesting words that you have never heard of. Unsurprisingly, it’s called “Weird Wide Words”. Yeah! So appropriately named.

So browsing it for a few hours using company resources (it’s educational so I think it’s ok! ), I’ve discovered and listed the words that I really like to use everyday.

 

• JOBBERNOWL

DEFINITION: A stupid person, a blockhead.

Any word related to stupidity is a must-use-word for me. Be diplomatic, insult people using this word.

• MUNDUNGUS

DEFINITION: Rubbish; refuse.

Remember Mundungus Fletcher from the famous Harry Potter books? A member of the esteemed Order of the Phoenix who is, no doubt, an accomplished criminal and also famous for his cowardice. J.K. Rowling is absolutely brilliant to use this word for a rubbish character.

• TWITTERPATED

 DEFINITION: Besotted.

I’m twitterpated by _________. *blush* (aheem…)

•  ZENZIZENZIZENZIC

DEFINITION: The eight power of a number.

I’ll never even attempt on saying anything about this word. @_@ You mathematicians deal with this.

• WILLY-NILLY

DEFINITION: Whether one likes it or not; haphazardly.

A nice word to use in work. “I want you to finish your task, willy-nilly, or else you’re dead.” -Boss

• VOLITATION

DEFINITION: Flying, flight.

I want to volitate!!! Is that a word?

• VINOLENT

DEFINITION: Addicted to wine; intemperate or drunken.

Met a lot of vinolent people. No problems with them. Their fun to be with.

• SPONDULICKS

DEFINITION: Money, cash.

I badly need this. Can anybody give me some? Pleeeeeeeze?

• INTERROBANG

DEFINITION: A combined exclamation mark and question mark.

What?! Then why aren’t we using this. This could have saved extreme effort in typing those two commonly used punctuations together. Really?!?!?!?!?!

• GADZOOKS

DEFINITION: An exclamation of surprise or annoyance.

A more subtle way of saying “F*ck”, “Sh!t”, and “D@mn”. Though, saying it right now, it’s really hard to pronounce so stay with your usual curse words and you’ll do fine.

Now, back to work or my boss will see me doing this and he’ll willy-nilly reprimand me and I’ll end up with a mundungus termination letter. I have no choice then but to be a vinolent with no spondulicks in my gadzooks pocket. Or I could be a jobbernowl and do a little volitation action over the bridge and by then my body will be divided into zenzizenzizenzic portions. No?!?! (interrobang… hahahaha) I should stay alive or else, those people twitterpated with me will also die of utter grief.
