In the recent quest to further the extremes of my intelligence, I've encountered some odd vocabulary and was surprised that there were actually words like lithomania and apopdysis...fill me in on new words you've learned.

My favorite word in the English language is "defenestrate" for its wonderfully descriptive meaning--it means "to throw something out a window." I love the fact that we have a word that has that specific of a meaning.

Lots of words that you won't find in a regular English dictionary, like the thick, thick ones that have EVERY word in the English language in it. these really have odd words!

My favorite word is "capital". Not only for referring to capitalized letters or seats of government, but in the now antiquated usage, meaning exceedingly good.
"That's a capital idea!"

I always liked 'frenetic' or 'sychophant'
I think it is because a frein is a 'brake' in French, and sychophant seems so close to having the prefix 'psycho' in it.

My favorite is 'nonchalant.'
I think it is very nonchalant of you to ask this question. :)
If you don't know what it means, look it up.
