Great, underused words

[laughinplace199]

These are great words. Many of my favorites have been mentioned, but here are a couple:

interloper (even my kids say it, when an onion ring gets in with the french fries, for example!)

juxtapose
alas and alack (oftentimes uttered together)

nunnery

cotillion

gregarious

Funny that you should mention "nunnery." I was just thinking of that word yesterday...and nunnery is definitely not a word I think of often!

I love "interloper" too.

I confess I haven't perused the thread in its entirety, but I *love* the word kerfluffle. It's not used nearly enough!

 

[Diva of Dragons]

OK, I've kind of lost track of what's been said, so sorry if I repeat!

Odious
Synchronicity
Shenanigans
hogswallop (hogs wallop, but usually said as if one word )
~~~also: codswallop (for the seafarers out there)

Has anybody mentioned "euphonious" yet? I just used this word yesterday, and immediately thought of this thread.

Moron

My favorite. Short, sweet and to the point...just like me
