Now actually back for true and reals! And I promise not to pull this not-posting-for-months thing again. If I found I haven't posted in a while, I will find some gibberish and/or picture of a cute animal to keep you all happy.

These are some words... Part 1

Here are some words. Say them slowly to yourself. Ponder their meanings. Tell me of their origins…

There is no prize for knowing these words or understanding the stories of their origins or their cultural relevance. I will, however, be doing a post following this one explaining these words, and then you can feel special if you were right!

If you aren't right, you lose.

And then, to quote Bethany "You die".

1) Brillig

2) Effulgent

3) Quiz

4) Defenestration

5) Anabaptist

6) Kenning

7) Tessitura

8) Phylogeny

9) Cyclothymia

10) Antidisestablishmentarianism
