What new words have you learned recently?

[MartyG]

Alexa gives me a word of the day from Dictionary.com when I ask for the morning news. Often handy for Countdown, which Susie is still on.

Diablerie has been a recent one I'd not heard before, which means: diabolic magic or art; sorcery; witchcraft.

And have a crush on Susie Dent? Oops. Did I type that out loud?

She's had a bit of work done and starting to get that "cat" look.

Or another celebrity...

->Open Spoiler<-

I still would though.

I love how Jimmy Carr paints her as a sexual deviant and she just goes along with it. (NSFW)

The other week on Countdown, Rachel Riley had to explain to Susie Dent what a "chode" was.

Concatenate

Someone told me to concatenate something in Excel. No only did i not know it did this, I'd never heard the word before.

That's how I did my report card comments this week.

You should program more! JavaScript would have learned you concatenation.

Short shrift.

Tophus. A crystal formed as part of an affliction of gout.

I learned (or is it learnt?) two words this week:

Woman (noun). An adult human female.

Friend (noun). A person with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically one exclusive of sexual or family relations.

As an aside, people who don't know the difference between 'entomology' and ‘etymology’ bug me in a way I can't put into words.

(Something I saw on Twitter what made me laugh - apologies for not knowing who to credit).

Also, tell me more of your words please.

Bitch

Anyone who isn't some kind of proto-anarchist. These people often treat others with a modicum of decorum and respect. They don’t follow the approved language of judgemental aggression. They spend their days sucking the balls of The Enlightenment Rebels.

Thanks to The Apprentice:

Fleek - One of those words that's not actually a word to anyone who cares about the English language

Nobody laughed at, or even liked, my hilarious post?

Everyone knows that all gamers are friendless virgins and I was playing on that archetypal gamer sterotype. Do you see now? Oh, come on!
