perambulation is a good one. My morning walk isn't quite grand enough to be called a 'constitutional'; nor scenic and leisurely enough to be called a 'stroll'; nor yet social enough to be called a 'promenade'; 'perambulation' is just the ticket.

Just because it sounds cool.

Sonder (noun): the feeling one has on realizing that every other individual one sees has a life as full and real as one’s own, in which they are the central character and others, including oneself, have secondary or insignificant roles: In a state of sonder, each of us is at once a hero, a supporting cast member, and an extra in overlapping stories.

Shemomedjamo - Georgian word meaning to eat past the point of fullness because it tastes so good or as I heard it, "I accidentally ate the whole thing."

I've got six of them:

• Tittynope: "A small amount left over; a modicum."
• Cacography: "bad handwriting or spelling."
• Epeolatry: "the worship of words."
• Kakistocracy: "a state or society governed by its least suitable or competent citizens."
• Oikophilia: "love of home"
• Tenebrous: "dark; shadowy or obscure"

• Paramour

It sounds fancy, but means a casual lover. A fuck buddy. A friend with benefits. Though it can also carry the implication of being an out-of-wedlock lover, as it dates back to a time where having a fuck buddy was almost certainly a sign of married infidelity.

• Kith

Means one's friends and other people they are close to that aren't family. Often paired with "kin". Kith and kin. Friends and family.

Propreantepenultimate. Fifth to last.

1. Ultimate
2. Penultimate
3. Antepenultimate
4. Preantepenultimate
5. Propreantepenultimate

Not a word, but there's a specific phrase uttered when you casually pass by someone working, stop for a chat, and then genuinely wish them well with their work as you leave.

This phrase does not exist in English:

• "Break a leg" is close, but more reserved for some grand performance

Nor does it exist in German:

• "Viel Spass/Glück" (Have fun, Good Luck) is also close, but has an element of sarcasm and/or success through chance.
• (Edit) "Frohes Schaffen" (Happy 'getting it done') is pretty spot on.

In Turkish, you just say "Kolay Gelsin", meaning "May the work come easy so that you finish sooner".

Its such a useful unjudgemental phrase, easily uttered, that I've seen nowhere else. Maybe other languages have it too.

Widdershins. It means counter to the sun's direction , and was seen as inauspicious. Counter-clockwise, before clocks.

Borborygmus I use often enough, but it's not widely known. It's the gurgling sound produced by the movement of gas through your intestines.

Limaceous I almost never use, but I enjoy it anyway. It means characteristic of or pertaining to slugs.

And lastly, tawdry is one of my favorites meaning showy but cheap and poor quality.

Indubitably!

It means most certainly, beyond questioning.

And it's fun to say!

I think it's used more often in computer science, but the difference between contiguous and continuous. Continuous means "without end" and contiguous means "without break."

Gloam/gloaming

The onset of twilight/becoming gloomy

It's German but 'Rucksackriemenquerverbindungsträger', the thing between the straps of a backpack that you can connect to lighten the load on your shoulders.

I made the word up but I use it pretty often.

Defenestration. Throwing someone out of a window. Example the defenestration of prague

ereyesterday is the day before yesterday. as a german i am used to refer to two days in the past and future without useing weekdays.

overmorgen, in Dutch. I heard this 'overmorrow' word a couple times as a response in that they wish it did exist

Albeit.

Sesquipedalian: A user of big words

I like that saying sesquipedalian makes you sesquipedalian.

"scruple" as a verb, meaning "hesitate due to conscience".

Perchance!

I agree that we should use overmorrow more. Japanese has a similar word and it gets frequent use.

Internecine, meaning "destructive to both sides in a conflict".

Petty bickering like that divorce where they had a judge adjudicate the distribution of their beanie baby collection was internecine.

Scrofulous - a) having a diseased run-down appearance. b) morally contaminated

I learned this word when I heard someone being described as a 'scrofulous drinkist' lol

"Overmorrow" is actually not obscure or obsolete at all in german.
"Übermorgen" is quite often used (at least around me)

My contribution is katzenjammer, which is a word describing a really bad hangover (in the English language). I believe it is used a bit differently in the German language, but don't take my word for it.

Grandiloquent/sesquipedalian. It's what you get when you use everything in this thread ₍^ >ヮ<^₎ .ᐟ.ᐟ

Twaddle: something insignificant or worthless or another word Nonsense.

Discovered this word while reading the dictionary during silent reading in English and they wouldn’t let me play games.
