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!

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

lignicide: woodcutter

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. tongue.gif

Primifluous, adj. that which flows first.

My second word! Lambition: Act of licking or lapping.

Schme... (Shh-mmmm-meh)

Just like meh, except with a Shh sound.

Also known as

Sadistic Causers of Havoc, Mayhem and Evil.

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?

I have gelicide, which means a frost.

Rather appropriate for me. laugh.gif

I got schismarch: founder of an opposing faction.

Gaudiguch can adopt stagma: any distilled liquor.
And Serenwilde can have ficulnean: worthless information about fig-tree wood.

Tortiloquy - dishonest or immoral speech.

I thought it rather fitting of me, and I can't pronounce it. Perfect. smile.gif

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.
