WTF?! I know maybe half of these words! Bellicose? Jejune? Quotidian?
I must be lugubrious.

Bellicose…isn’t that when you get those ugly veins sticking out on your legs? LOL
My favorite word is onomotapeia. I know for sure I just spelled that wrong.
Onomatopoeia… isn’t that the crud you get in your eyes after a long nap?
i like “juxtaposition”. and “wolds”, as in wolds of fat.
my sister just turned me onto using “ironical”. yes, it’s an acceptable spelling.
-s
Wolds?! Who came up with that word anyways?
Though it is better than “risis.” You know, what you have when there’s a crisis in the rice fields, you have a risis.
Now that’s a word!
