A bunch of people, whose names I have forgotten since I heard it on the radio while half asleep, have started a website that is trying to give old words a fighting chance! So why not adopt a word and save those poor, poor staaarving woords?
Poor words..
Recineration is my word!

Sigilism, I choose you!
Wow there are exactly zero opportunities in my life to use this, unless I am saying "I don't have any chances to use the term sigilism in conversation."

Oh Phoebus! I shall give you the gift of recineration to your enemies if you promise to stay away from sigilism!
Teehee

I have adopted frutescent- giving the appearance of a shrub. This is a word I can use both in Lusternia and IRL.

MINGENT adj. Discharging urine. Yay, a word I can use every night at work!

The giving soul I am, I decided to adopt another word that had more chance of being used, and this time the random word chooser...was a bit more generous.
molrowing - the act of making merry with prostitutes

Sylphas, pay attention to the primifluous urine. It often doesn't go where you intend.
Primifluous, adj. that which flows first.

I got "quaeritate." It's like asking, but for old librarians trying to sound posh or something.

Some words seem pretty hard to save. How am I going to save a word that is the name of a machine that long since went out of production?
Diamondais2010-11-17 11:15:57
I have gelicide, which means a frost.
Rather appropriate for me.

Tortiloquy - dishonest or immoral speech.
I thought it rather fitting of me, and I can't pronounce it. Perfect.
Also, I expect some Hallifaxian to adopt airgonaut.

Xenization - fact of traveling as a stranger
"after finishing his O-level, Duncan will be off on his xenization year"
Hmm, I'm sure I can find a way to write this up in my blog. Looks fun!

I've got eicastic, which is a synonym for imitative. So I guess mine's easier to slip into conversations, with the downside that I'll look like a pretentious cocksore.
