Oh come on, you made those up!
epizootic!! (sounds more like epizoodic, emphasis on the "zoo") My Mom, Grandma, and great G'ma would always say things like...."wash your hands before dinner or you'll get epizootic". I always thought it was a made up disease until I looked it up! It's the same as epidemic, but for wild animal populations. LOL!
I still think it's a great way to threaten kids!![]()
I have always thought this was a made up word. Anytime I am sick my mom asks if I have the epizoodic. Who Knew?Oh, and I forgot one of my other favorite words: hullabaloo. It's such a fantastic word, it spawned my very first tag.

gratuitous
gratis
spirited
schmuck
unladen
As in..."What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?"
